So I thought in the spirit of Valentine's Day coming up on Sunday, I would write each day until then something about Love and it's different meanings. Tonight there are a few things on my mind.
The first is the 4 types of love
Eros, Phileo, Agape, and Storge
Eros is admiration
Phileo is parental love
Storge is the friendship love
&
Agape is the love that cannot be broken. It's the "till death do us part" love.
When I think about these loves, I think about the type of love that we all have in our everyday lives.
Storge is the biggest and most well-used kind of love. We love our friends and in most cases, our families.
Eros is the love that we all feel when we first start a relationship with someone. It is blind to the bad which can be both good and bad.
Phileo is the type of love that I have always wanted to know what was like. To be loved by a parent and know that you are loved...unconditionally.
I feel lucky enough to have experienced Agape love already in my 18 years of life. No, this love hasn't come for a human being. I've experienced it through my relationship with God. You see, 'till death do us part' applies not only to earthly marriages, but to our "marriage" to God. It's so nice to know that I can wake up in the morning and no matter what I do, He still loves me unconditionally.
