It is interesting that the place of 'romance' that is being described here is in Morroco, the north of Africa that in obvious terms, no one of the occidentail frame of culture truly understands, since even from American history, the Barbary Coast demonstrated the obvious clash of cultures for more than two hundred years; but even in that, relationships between a man and woman might transcend such disparate foundational ideological differences, but this is hidden in this particular narrative. Why is that? Second, are we who do not fully appreciate the narrative of contentment (so disposed here) in a true position to bring any negative reverberations that may disrupt what potentially is a manageable relationship, no matter the opposing opinions one or many might attempt to allege as a reason or mean hearted attack on an otherwise of those acceptable circumstance. Its only contraindication of acceptability is that if not in (fully committed) marriage, how it is expected to last?
