There are four major types of love: Eros, Phileo, Storage, and Agape. You may have never heard of these names but you most certainly have felt them.
The first type of Love is Eros. Eros is a romantic or sexual type of love. This is the type of love you have for your mate. Its is passionate and intense; therefore, it arouses the feelings of a sexual nature. This type of love is important to a relationship; however, it may not last unless its take to another level because this love is more about self than the other person. With this love, there is a possibility that the person "in love" may get bored and stop loving the other person.
Second type of love is Phileo. Phileo is a friendship type of love. This love is more affectionate, warm, and tender. This is a committed and chosen love. You chose to give this love to a person. Phileo is just simply how you feel about someone.
Storage is the third type of love.This love is more of a family type of love. The love that parents naturally feel for their children. However, you can have this love with a friend, not just your family. This love makes friendships turn into a romantic love or couples become best friends. This love is unconditional and accepts flaws and faults which drives you to forgive.
The last type of love is Agape. Agape is an unconditional love. This love sees beyond people flaws or faults and accepts the person for whom he or she is in life. This love is a sacrifice while giving but not expecting anything in return. You love a person just for being a human being. If we, America, use this love more often then it would be a better place to live.
These are the four major types of love. Only one question: "Which one are you showing or using?"
