What makes a good romantic relationship in novels?
Posted on October 21st, 2009 by admin
I’m writing a novel at the moment, and as in most novels, my two main characters have a romantic relationship.
I’m just wondering what makes a good romantic relationship? It won’t be a typical dating one (I hate those anyway) because the novel is set in the middle of a huge war, so I’m just looking for hints&tips on how to make a decent romance.
It’s not a romance novel in the slightest by the way. The main focus is the war, this is just a subplot.
Oh, and the guy is 17 and the girl is 24.
Well they might not be allowed to be together. They might be separated. they might be pretending not to acknowledge their situation
(if u use any off this include me in the credits

Well, it has to be realistic. Make sure that your couple acts like a couple in their situation. Conflict is especially important, because no relationship is absolutely perfect. Make them have fears and anxiety about themselves and their relationship, especially since they’re a war.
Don’t rush their relationship, but don’t drag it out for too long either. He shouldn’t randomly fall in love with her in a minute. Don’t put so many situations where they come close to being a couple, but it doesn’t happen, because it gets frustrating if the suspense is prolonged (and not in a good way.)
Good luck!
