I think you can start a marriage with that and if you want one that last you will need: compassion, understanding, patience, acceptance, compromise, forgiveness and a sense of humor.

Not in my opinion. Romance and love aren't the same thing. Romance is usually an initial thing, although it can, and should be used through a long term relationship. Marriage or any long term relationship, is about compromise, understanding, love, forgiveness, and really hard work! haha Romance is just a nice part of it. I say you love someone, when they become ill and you don't leave them, it's easy to, "love" someone because you like the way they look. :) Just my opinions :) and experiences.

It takes a lot of work to keep romance alive in any long term relationship.

No, I don't think so. I think true love is better condition for marriage.

well romance is good but people change and its not forever. i prefer true love and honesty
