Is Romantic Love Necessary For a Happy Marriage?

Paragraph 1

【讓/現】It is undeniable that love is the foundation of marriage. So, many married couples believe that having ‘romantic love’ for one another is a paramount reason to be married. 【他】Nevertheless, marriage is regarded as a symbol of commitment, companionship, and a journey binding two partners. 先定義、後闡述【表】For this reason, I do believe a happy marriage does not necessarily tie up with so-called ‘romantic’ affection.

浪漫愛情是快樂婚姻所必須的嗎？(文章直譯)

【讓/現】「愛情是婚姻的基石」是不容否認的。所以，很多已婚伴侶相信：與對方擁有浪漫愛情是進入婚姻的首要(paramount)條件。【他】但是，婚姻也被視為一種象徵: 委身、陪伴、綁住兩人的一趟旅程。【表】由於這原故，我確實地相信一段快樂的婚姻不必跟所謂的「浪漫愛情」連繫著。

Paragraph 2

【理】To begin with, romantic love is considered a sorta emotion or something that can wear off over time. I believe it is somewhat like a temporal hallucination幻象. In other words, you may feel the excitement or having butterflies in your stomach (思春), just from the fantasy of someone. As time goes by, the reality reveals. Such romantic fantasy would no longer last. Yes, to say ‘Even if the sun refused to shine; even if the sea left the ocean, I would always love you..’ is really romantic. But to realize such promises in marriage, ‘true and committed love’ is indispensable instead, which is different to the alleged ‘romantic love’.

【理】首先，浪漫愛情被視為一種情緒或一些會隨時間而消耗的東西。我相信這多多少少(somewhat)像短暫幻象。換句話說，你可能感到興奮，或「在肚子內有蝴蝶」(having butterflies in your stomach)，只源於對某人的幻想。隨時間流逝，現實就呈現。這種浪漫幻想不再持續。是的，說出「儘管太陽拒絕照耀;儘管海水離開海洋，我依然永遠愛你」這種話是浪漫的。但是，如果要在婚姻中兌現這些承諾，「真實並委身的愛情」才(instead)是不可或決，而這種愛情跟聲稱的(alleged)「浪漫愛情」是折然不同。

Paragraph 3

As just mentioned, romantic love is not the same as ‘true and committed love’. 【理】Beyond doubt, marriage is a life-time security and a long-term journey binding two individuals, with commitment and endurance. It is the bond between a couple and something you sustainably feel within your heart. 【讓】Many believe romantic love is similar to true love, but true love takes commitment to maintain a successful marriage. Committing with your partner is a choice with ‘endurance’ that can enhance a happy marriage, instead of temporal feelings. For instance, partners choose to keep their relationship going regardless of the obstacles they go through. Such attitude determines how we feel about our partner, which influences how one treat each other in a marriage relationship.

如上所述，浪漫愛情是不同於「真實並委身的愛情」。【理】無可置疑，婚姻是一生時間的保障，是一段綁住兩個個體的長途旅程，其中蘊含委身與忍耐。是伴侶間的一種連結，是一種你能在心中持續感受的東西。【讓】很多人相信浪漫愛情跟真實的愛類近，但是真實的愛需要為持續一段成功婚姻而委身。委身於你的伴侶是一個選擇，其中蘊含那種能強化快樂婚姻的「忍耐」，而非短暫的感覺。舉例，配偶選擇保持這段關係繼續，無論經過多少障礙。這種態度決定了我們對另一半的感覺，而影響著在婚姻中，彼此怎樣對待對方。

Paragraph 4

【理】Finally, marriage is a life-time crucial choice, in that should not be just based on romantic affection. Romance can form one of the bases of a marriage relationship but is sometimes not a requisite. 【現】Many people in our society marry for just romantic love, but it is proven that these marriages don’t last without the prepared ‘acceptance and endurance’. Some people agree that marriage is a journey in which two people must work together to make decisions or solve life problems, through that is not easy.(7+3畫解:prep+that用法，廣東話按此，普通話按此) Hence, I agree it is best to consider what priorities you want in your mate before marriage(按此7+3畫解:Formal Subject寫作常用法，廣東話按此，普通話按此), with ‘acceptance and endurance’, not just for romantic reasons.

【理】最後，婚姻是人生的關鍵性選擇，在其中不宜只基於浪漫感覺。浪漫可以作為婚姻關係中，其中一層根基，但這並不是必須品(requisite)。【現】在社會中不少人單為了浪漫而進入婚姻，其實已經証明了這類婚姻，沒有預備好的「接納與忍耐」的話，都不會持久。有些人同意婚姻是一段旅程，其中兩人必須一起工作、決策、破解人生難題，走過這些絕不是容易。所以，我同意在婚前，最好考慮一下你希望你的伴侶有什麼優先條件呢?然後以「接納與忍耐」的態度進入，而並非浪漫原因。

Paragraph 5

讓步段 (Optional)

【讓】Notwithstanding(讓步段) most prevalent ‘Great Love Stories’ like Romeo and Juliet must have their romantic elements, you would imagine what if they didn’t die and finally got married! When they got older, the beauty of Juliet didn’t last. Would Romeo still love Juliet without her attractive appearance? In reality, a pair of married couple will encounter different kinds of problems in which (7+3畫解:which前為何要有in?廣東話按此，普通話按此) romantic love might make no use at all.

【讓】儘管大部份流行的「偉大愛情故事」，如〈羅密歐與朱麗葉〉必然擁有浪漫元素。你可以想像一下: 真的如果(what if) 他們沒有死，最後進入婚姻！當他們變老，朱麗葉華容失色後。沒有美貌，羅密歐依舊愛朱麗葉？回到現實，一對已婚情侶會遇到不同類別的問題，其中浪漫愛情可能是沒什麼用處的。

Paragraph 6

【表】In conclusion, (結論撮要)romantic love is not necessary for a happier marriage because it is just a kinda affection, it is different to true love with commitment and marriage should be a life-time choice with rational consideration. 啟發 Romance is not a sole expression of love, and as a matter of fact, there are many ways in which partners can express their love. Although romance plays a part in love, a happy marriage takes(需要) determination, respect, and trust.

【表】做個結論吧，浪漫愛情不是一段更幸福婚姻的必要條件，因為它只是一種感覺，它跟真實含委身的愛不同，而婚姻應該是需要通過理智考慮的、關乎一生的選擇。浪漫不是唯一的一種愛的表達，事實上，有很多途徑伴侶們可以用來表達愛情。儘管浪漫是戀愛的一部份，一段幸福的婚姻是需要決心、尊重與信任的。
