Ideals

Courtship Ideals

In the lands of Tündérföld there are two forms of courtship--the sort that is erotic and spiritual, transcendent and mortal, humiliating and exultant--and then there's the sort that ends in marriage.The distinction lies in what is known as Courtly Love, which is seen as the ideal exchange of romance between two people and marriage which is marked as a necessity to continue on lineages and to provide workers for the fields in the summer time. While courting for marriage can be as simple as expressing your interest in a union or perhaps an arrangement between two families of similar stations and are almost always heterosexual, Courtly Love is a resplendent activity that can be engaged in by almost any one person to another regardless of race or gender. Courtly Love is characterized by several features:

Marriage is no real excuse for not loving - One may love someone else even while married.
He who is not jealous cannot love. - Jealousy over the one you love is a sign of your own affections.
No one can be bound by a double love. -
When made public love rarely endures. - All romances should be kept secret. Love thrives in opposition and danger--the risk of scandal fans the flames of love to greater heights.
