This week we talked about love and mate selection. We discussed the 4 greek words used to describe differnt levels of love. There is Eros- romantic love, Agape- love for others well being, Phlia- brotherly love, and Storge- familial love. We were then asked to decided what percent of each catagories we would want in our own marriages. I found that for me I think I would like to have 25% for each. I wouldn't like to feel that my marriage was lacking in one of these areas. I also wouldn't be able to decided which area I would rather have a higher percentage of love in. I find them all to be equally important in cultivating a healthy relationship. I hope that as I am dating I will be able to build strong foundations of love in all these areas with the person I eventually marry. I think it was good that we discussed these catagories so that as we look for an eternal companion we can make sure our relationships aren't built to heavily on only one form of love and lacking in the rest.
