Where there is love, there is romance. Well, no! They might go hand in hand but have one thin blurry line separating them which is often misinterpreted and not understood.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love is a deep feeling that is not just limited to humans. Whereas romance is the thrill and excitement which is associated with love and is only reserved for our significant other.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s know and understand the difference between these two words in detail:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Love is Commitment. Romance is Temporary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/jaOPy1iPfzjEc3u6eP\/giphy.gif\" width=\"883\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love is a deep liking and adoration towards a few people we have in our lives. Love makes us go to great lengths for the people we love.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Romance, on the other hand, may or may not transform into love. A relationship that is only based on it is bound to end sooner or later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Love is Eternal. Romance is Volatile<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/cxnqsUBAKfLWg\/giphy.gif\" width=\"913\" height=\"502\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love lasts forever and will only grow stronger with time. The person you love will have the deepest place in your heart.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But romance evaporates soon. It is something that comes and goes. It is only felt towards your significant other but is not permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Love is an Inner Gesture. Romance is Superficial\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/P8VHodsPTvJQs\/giphy.gif\" width=\"902\" height=\"509\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love means devotion, affection and commitment. Romance is everything superficial like long drives, intimate dinners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Love Serves. Romance can be Self-Centred.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/8WLqcO4qLmqQ\/giphy.gif\" width=\"1135\" height=\"531\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a known fact that love is all about selflessness and keeping the other person\u2019s happiness and safety on top of yours. Hence a mother\u2019s love is considered the purest form of love. But the act of romance can be self-indulgent. You may suggest things and do activities that you enjoy more than your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, don\u2019t get romance wrong. It is an essential factor and acts as a fuel to the fire in the relationship. It strengthens the intimacy and the bond of two souls who are in love. Romance is crucial for happiness as it creates adventure and nostalgia, and together, love and romance make a relationship of a couple stable, beautiful and everlasting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As per Elinor Glyn &#8211; \u201cRomance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life to a Golden Haze.\u201d Love and romance go hand in hand.
