The Myth of Romantic Love

» Lynne_Remick - Timeless and Timely!

What a wonderful, timeless romantice feature for your column, as well as a timely one for me. I have just received my own *new* copy of the story of Tristan and Iseult from Amazon.com, and am looking forward to sinking my teeth into this legend.

I will be sure to follow your discussions as I wander through this book.

Thanks Lynne! Glad you enjoyed the article. Tristan and Iseult is my favourite love story - I just love tales of knights and Medieval romance. I'm sure you'll get wrapped up in the tale as well as you read it. Enjoy!

» jerrib - Take Don Juan

He's not for me! I enjoyed your article, and am glad my "Don Juan" only has eyes for me. Another thing, I agree romantic love does not always just happen - sometimes you have to make it happen! I'll look forward to your next article.

In response to message posted by jerrib:

Is romantic love really something that will bring happiness to our lives? Are the perfect ideals of romantic love really attainable? Can a relationship be productive when each partner possessively focuses their desires onto one another?

Hollywood movies may tell us that romantic love is the ultimate form of love but as these mythological stories show us, romantic love is purely a constructed concept.
