Few things are more entertaining or contentious than reading romance novels and stories.

Critics frequently dismiss romance as fluff, and your high school English teacher probably never told you to grab the latest bodice ripper and enjoy yourself (though he or she was probably reading them in secret). So, why should you read romance?

1. Read romance simply because you enjoy it! We all have so much on our plates; why read books and stories we don't like just because they're on the New York Times Best Seller list?

Relax with your favorite romance novel and have fun!

2. The pure escape provided by reading romance novels and stories is well worth the cost.

Daily life can be stressful, and romance novels or stories allow us to escape into a romantic adventure for a while.

We return to our lives refreshed and ready to tackle that mountain of dishes!

3. Reading romance novels set in various locations and parts of the world allows you to learn about new states and countries.

You can even travel back in time with a historical romance novel and learn about how people lived in other eras.

You can even travel into the future to see what life—and romance—might be like in a hundred, or even a thousand years!

4. Reading romance allows you to become someone else. Yes, when actively reading, you can completely transform into another person.

You may meet yourself on the page, but you may also discover an entirely new way to approach a romance problem—and sometimes even the solution to a relationship problem.

If nothing else, reading allows you to be someone other than yourself. You're Lindsay in the novel, dashing around London with a dashing count chasing you, not Linda, who has four loads of laundry to do and dinner plans to make.

Reading a great romance story or novel has the distinct advantage of providing you with information and ideas to try out with your partner!

And your partner will undoubtedly be grateful!

6. Consider how much fun you have reading romance! That alone is reason enough to read a romance novel or story.

Fun! Fun appears to be out of fashion these days. Everyone is so busy working and rushing around that few people have time to have fun.

So read romance just for the sake of reading it! And if it happens to make bedtime more enjoyable, all the better!

You've earned it.

Now go grab a romance novel or a great romance story, snuggle up in your favorite afghan, and have some fun!
