Default Re: The Five Kinds of Love

I copied this about a year ago - I thought it was SO GOOD & threw it in 2 of my relationship books.

I need so much of EROS in my marraige or I would get bored. Just who I am. I feel I have experienced all of these. I was on the highs of Epithumia for about 8 months when I had my mid life Crisis, very strong desires overtaking my mind- I focused them all on my husband, chasing him all over the place. It should have been more of a youthful thing for me, but it wasn't. Thankfully, he liked it!

My husband is better at Agape than me, a most loving man no matter what, he has it mastered. If I didnt have some Eros in there, I am afraid my Agape may fall by the wayside.

I feel we have ALWAYS had Storge & Phileo since before we married to the present, always consistent, always there, never questioned ever.
