The following are the differences between Love and Romance: a. Love serves, Romance is self-centered: True love doesn’t think of itself, it helps. Love is a constant companion, even when needs are not met. Love is there to be available for the other, even in times of sickness, poverty, and stressful situations of life. In contrast, Romance is always directed at our projections, our expectations, and our fantasies. b. Love is a lifetime, and Romance is momentary: Love is forward-thinking and is in it for the long haul. Love offers in-depth communication, friendship, and long lasting sharing. Romance is that thrilling moment that seems like the peak of the relationship.
It offers adventure and intense emotions that last for a short period. c. Love is unconditional, and Romance is a feeling: Unconditional love withstand the test of time, but Romance is a feeling that comes and go. d. Love is practical, and Romance is frivolous: True love is a display of commitment and self-discipline that contributes to the survival of the relationship, but Romance is mostly seen in movies and most times, leads to divorce. Conclusively, Romance is needed in a relationship as it is, too, but love is the most important and highly essential ingredient required for any relationship. A good relationship is a good place where love and Romance can co-exist.
