The tension isn't the obstacle. The tension is whether you will choose to stay and do the work when the credits don't roll.

In a romantic storyline, every glance has subtext. Every fight has a resolution within 22 minutes. Every character arc is linear. In real life, people backslide. You might have the same fight about money for ten years. You might go through a dry spell of physical intimacy that lasts a season. You might say something stupid that you cannot take back.

The pursuit is a sprint. It is adrenaline and mystery. The maintenance is a marathon. It is choosing the same person every morning when they have morning breath and when they disappoint you. The tension isn't the obstacle

A prince and a commoner is an external obstacle. A better story is two people who love each other but want entirely different lives (one wants children, the other doesn't; one wants the city, the other the farm). Internal conflict is more gripping than external drama. Every fight has a resolution within 22 minutes

A healthy romantic storyline for the 21st century needs to retire the tropes that glorify persistence after "no." The greatest misunderstanding of our generation is comparing the backstage of our relationship to the highlight reel of a fictional one.
