I've heard people use "luminance" instead of limmerance by accident, so obviously there's a mental connection there. Thanks for the blog on my blog, Robert.

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:51:30 +0000 http://jauntyquills.com/2008/02/19/limmerance/#comment-59851 I started to comment on this, but it got very long. I soon realized that I was writing a blog in response to your blog... So, I decided to publish it as a blog on my site. Feel free to read it at my livejournal Shana/Shane. I am of the theory that Limmerance is a mash-up of "Glimmering" and "Romance"... as in "the glimmering romance stage of the relationship." Or do you think it is closer "Luminance"? In my opinion, both work to describe the feeling. I started to comment on this, but it got very long.

Great word, btw! We have moments of it, but with two kids and full time jobs, it's hard to keep that level of euphoria going. You're right, Shana. Marriage is hard work - at least a good marriage, imho. And I've also noted what you said about our love of romance novels. Except the rare few, most romance novels are all about the limmerance stage. How rarely do read a book after the "alleged" HEA? Laura Lee Guhrke's THE MARRIAGE BED comes to mind, but not many others. Your retreat sounds fantastic! Something every couple should do. Hmmm... :wink: Hugs, Sophie Ok, I’ll fess up and say DH and I aren’t in “limmerance” anymore! Great word, btw!

I'm telling you we are positively pathetic when we aren't together. He's had the flu this week and this weekend when I had to sleep on the couch, it just broke my heart. We reconnect by hanging out together, going for a walk, playing Scrabble, watching a movie, snuggling and just talking. Great post, Shana! The Professor and I are totally still in that phase.
