PASSION

Webster includes theses two definitions of the word PASSION Ardent affection: Love Sexual desire I have a friend who just met a really nice guy, they are actually talking about engagement and marriage. She told me the other night that she doesn't feel passion for him. Her biological clock is ticking and I think she would be happy right about now to settle down and have a family. But she is worried about this "Passion" thing. I had no sound advice for her and I have been thinking about the word "Passion" since we had this conversation. I did tell her that "Passion" comes and goes in a relationship. Of course I am feeling biased because this guy is a good catch. A real family man, loves children, has a good secure job, and loves being around his extended family, he has a large group of friends who have wives and children and he is just right for her. Their backgrounds a very much alike and he is just about her age. I think "Passion" is over rated. There can be "Passion" in a relationship whether married or not, it just depends on the circumstances. I think the word "Passion" may be misused in her situation. I think what she is looking for is the hormone driven lust that you feel as a young person. When your not in a relationship with anyone in particular, maybe a one night stand. Your inhibitions are hidden and everything is full out. I still don't know how to advise her and telling her how I feel in the words I have written may not make any sense to her.
