Aspects of Romantic Love : Perceptions on Love and Marriage

Aspects of Romantic Love: Perceptions on Love and Marriage is a modest attempt to express my perceptions of romantic love and related themes. To love and to be loved are exciting aspects of a persons emotional life. The pivotal theme of the book is love romance marriage and those alliances which hamper a harmonious conjugal and family life. Romantic love is a fascinating passion and an ecstatic experience. The very word ‘romance’ captures our imagination and fills our hearts with exciting feelings. The book is not a scientific treatise on love. It only encapsulates romantic love with all its appealing themes. My effort is to describe the splendid experience called love exclusively through my impressions.  The book is a product of the year 2020 marred by the Covid-19 pandemic and the terrible human exodus during the lockdown of 2020. The unexpected global and national scenario gave ample time and opportunity for reading writing and reflection. Writing on a subject like romantic love helped overcome the lethargy and the feeling of devastation during the lockdown. It has been an exciting creative activity and a marvellous sensation of diversion.
