However, I wouldn’t mind having a little more chivalry and well, romance, in modern times.<br />As far as the ‘Rules’ go ~ No to 2, 7, 13, 15, 19, 21, 22, 25 + 30; Don’t Know to 3, 4, 6, 9, 14, 23, 26 + 28; Yes to 1, 8, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 24, 27 + 31. A Big Yes to 5, 10 + 20. The Chief 12 Rules are cool for the most part. <br />You might be interested in Elaine Cantrell’s blog, “Hope.Dreams.Life...Love” [http://www.elainepcantrell.blogspot.com/].

That scene is a perfect example of an arranged marriage not based on love.<br /><br />You too, Andrea!<br /><br />Steph, that was definitely against the norm. And I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying Woman of Honor so far!<br /><br />#16 really is a great one, isn't it, Tracey?<br /><br />As much as I romanticize the time period, I don't think I could live back then either, Jennifer and Jo Ann. I can't imagine being forced into marriage. I love my husband and can't imagine not being with him.Nicole Zoltackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464800543376449290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955575393345766322.post-64509281792548482932010-02-15T14:27:32.991-05:002010-02-15T14:27:32.991-05:00i'm not sure I could have lived during those t...i'm not sure I could have lived during those times!

You do bring up a good point about the arranged marriages and I can't help but think of how Edward IV DARED to defy that and marry a woman he fell in love with. (Elizabeth Woodville) It's a very romantic story for the times. <br /><br />Again, I am enjoying Book 1 of your Arnhem series and while I haven't gotten far, I really like what I've read.
