We’ve been talking about love! Perfect timing too with
Valentine’s Day this week. And I had the best Valentines J Well actually I had
two… And they are both far away from me, but both two of my favorite boys,
Elder Ian Smith and my favorite brother Bradley. Hehe And those handsome boys in the pictures are them. :)
Okay
so talking about love.. there are four types of love; eros, agape, storge, and
philia. Eros is the passionate, sexual love that is driven by emotions. Agape is
love that is independent of one’s feelings for another. Storge is the love
between a parent and a child. And lastly, the love between friends is philia. All
throughout your life you will experience each of these types of love with
different people. When you get in a serious relationship with the person you
are going to marry, you should experience all four types of love. Of course
there should be the passionate love, but there needs to be more than that.
Before you are ready to be in a relationship with someone and ready to grow
with someone you must be independent. You must be able to love yourself and be
confident in yourself. Then and only then can you fully love someone else. The love
you have for your spouse is not going to be the same as the love you have for
your parents, but there needs to be the caring nature. If your spouse is really
sick and the only love you have for them is passionate, you are not going to
want to spend the night with them while they are throwing up in the bathroom. That
is where storge love comes in. And you always hear people say, “I want to marry
my best friend”. And that is so true. It is so important! You really do need to
marry your best friend; you need to have that best friend love for your spouse.
Yupp
that’s all I got for now. And now I’m gonna go cause I’m heading down to Utah
for my cousin’s wedding.. Speaking of love! Haha J
Happy late Valentine’s Day! Hope it was great!
