Courting the maiden

[YinYang]

Well universally, I think there's many couples that don't dwell in a romantic focus in their way to love each other.

No, not when they're young lovers who are in love... This card is about temptation and desire, and sexual temptation and desire are two of the strongest forces in the human condition, so young lovers is a perfect symbolic representation of this concept, with the scantily dressed one on his left, making the left hand path seem more desirable superficially. Instant gratification (shallow) vs delayed gratification (deep).

You seem determined to make your personal unfavourable view of romantic love and its elements of passion universally applicable, but I suspect you might have better luck building a snowman in hell. I have to admit this thread has been frustrating to follow sometimes, because I feel a very simple, universally understood analogy that anyone can easily identify with and apply in their understanding of this archetype, has been turned into a whirlpool of confusion.

Courting the positive maiden entails the heart, not the head, which also makes the lovers well suited to this analogy. This love doesn't make a great deal of sense, it's beyond comprehension, you just crave their nearness, and want to share everything with them, and am ever curious about their views and just desire their well being and happiness. It's a light-hearted, non serious, mutually joyful and playful communion.
