5A - BOOK - The Romantic Lover - 84533-472**

Passion may provide the initial impulse for a strong physical relationship, but it is romance that will keep it alive. Romance should underpin everything we do in life. A morning wake-up kiss, intimate text messages and snatched telephone calls, lunchtime emails, an evening walk, supper curled up on the sofa together: these can lead gently and naturally into wonderful sex and a night spent asleep in each other`s arms.

But sex itself can also be intensely romantic. A loving massage. Endless kisses and tongue play. Simply gazing into each other`s eyes. Gental and long-lasting intercourse. And romance need not always be gentle - romantic behaviour can even be startling, exciting and unexpected.

However, underpinning every truly successful relationship will be secure feelings of romance; the fact that two people not only love each other, but are willing to say so, that they are not only willing to say it, but also to show it.
