The Chains That Bind You


Being tied up - synonymous to love?


The idea of love and romance is often depicted with locks, chains, or other means of being tied down, tied up, or no longer free in some way. There are so many phrases that give us that feeling of being tied up.

The common phrase getting hitched for getting married could also be translated to fastened or tethered by a rope.
Then there is the word wedlock. The very word has a lock in it.
People get joined in marriage. As in: stuck together.

Writers can use this imagery of two people being connected in a very tight bond in their writing by using the words chain, chains, chained. On the flip-side, many people who describe the dissolution of a relationship will use the word unchained.

It would be nice to be unchained and in love. But it's not clear if that can even exist.

One more thing: Don't put chains on bridges. You're making the bridge unstable. The locks will get cut off and thrown away like garbage. Do you really think your love is garbage?

Ask & Answer

In my last Romance & Love newsletter "Meeting that Special Someone" Open in new Window. I offered a game with the possibility to win a merit badge. Each of those who shared their story received a romance merit badge.

The challenge was: Tell me in a few words how you met a partner for the first time. Or how what it would look like in your romantic daydreams.

Bikerider Author Icon wrote: My wife was with a group of her friends at the beach when I met her for the first time, and I’ve been a firm believer in Love at First Sight ever since that day. We attended the same high school, but I had never seen her there until the day after we met. She found me in the cafeteria and she asked me out. (An aggressive move for a girl in those days). A month ago my wife and I visited the movie theater where, in 1965, we had our first date—and our first kiss. We’ve been kissing ever since.
