What is love? Love can mean so many different things. There are 4 different types of love. Storge is the kind of love found in the affection between parents and their children. Philla is a love that exists between friends. This is a warm and close relationship that has the characteristics of intimacy of sharing, affection and commitment. Agape is a love that is independent of one's feelings for another. Agape is to act on behalf of the well-being of someone else. Like when we see someone fall down or trip and we don't know them, we feel sympathy for them. Finally there is Eros is a love between men and women. It is a sexual love filled with passion, feelings and a longing to be with someone else. In class we were asked which do you want in a marriage? I want a little of each of them. I want storge because that love is a love of sacrifice. Philla because my husband and I are best friends and we share a warm and close relationship. Agape because we care about each other. Eros because we long to be in each others presence and nothing feels better than being in my husbands presence.
