That makes a lot of sense. Most of the people in the Bible are certainly not what I would refer to as romantics (not sure about Solomon. Maybe he’s a romantic, but not a great one) but you do make the excellent point that there is at least something to build on.

I, personally, don’t have my characters that start out Christian go any further than a kiss, and mostly just don’t go into any sort of detail at all ever no matter what relationship they are in. Most of my characters start out Christian. My main romantic couple is married, and I think I have a whole two kisses in the entire book. But, is it possible to insinuate too much? Or what is taking it too far? By this I mean, is it weird (or too far I guess) to have the girl wear the guy’s clothes after he has died because they have his scent? And by clothes, I mean a sweatshirt. Not that I have a very specific instance in mind or anything. :]

I love how the ladies in Little Women fall in love! It’s so… proper. I think it’s not something we get to see very much anymore. And Rifles for Watie is such a good book! So, so good. I love both of those books. Something I am now considering as I write this that I hadn’t thought of before is how little the books are actually about love, while having everyone fall in love. I mean, Little Women has a lot to say about love, but I would say it is not intended to be a romance novel. Maybe I should consider writing not a romance, but a novel with romance. hmm…

I have not read the Wingfeather Saga yet, but I hope to soon. It’s on my list. Has been for a while. Now when I read them, I will probably look at them through an author’s eye, looking for things to help me with this dilemma. 🙂

Yes, what you said is very helpful! Thank you so much!
