I’m rather curious about the current western ideas/thoughts of romantic love. There’s a plethora of information, articles and videos about it on the internet and in libraries. More than any one person can sort through! However, I’ve been doing some digging and would like some real life input. Below are some questions that will shed some light on some current trends. I’m writing about a larger topic; theories and misconceptions of romantic love, which will include a history of marriage up to current times and how romantic love has changed over many years up to current times. Answers to these questions will help add some local data to my article. I’d appreciate your input on the following questions, please answer as truthfully and honest as possible! Your responses will be anonymous and only used as a statistic.
