LOVE

June 11, 2009 at 6:07 pm (Random Thoughts, personal)

There are three types of love that play into every relationship:

Eros- The physical attraction.  The passion. The heat. The spark. The magic.  This kind of love is based upon a chemical reaction in the brain and how it reacts to specific stimuli.  Mainly when someone of the opposite gender is found to be pleasing to the eye.

Phileo- The companionship kind of love.  The brotherly love that ties two soul mates together.  The bond that is not easily broken.

Agape- The love that is unconditional that goes beyond our comprehension.  The love that is undeserved and unmerited.

All three of these loves are vital in a relationship.  It is like a triangle with each love taking up a side.  As the love grows, the triangle grows.  However, my question is, is it ok to have a triangle that does not have equal sides?  Or is the perfect kind of love in a relationship supposed to have equal sides no matter what and grow at the same rate?

Oh, the mystery of love!
