lesson 5

There are four different types of love. Agape which is not feeling based, Storage which is parent/ child love, Eros with is romantic/ sexual and passionate, and Phillia which is close, friendly, brotherly love. We need all of these types of love in a marriage because each one is different and all are meaningful. Ya sure Storage is a parent/ child type of love but that doesn't mean that you cant care for your husband or wife like you care about for a child. Love is a very strong word and with it comes these types of love and I feel like to have a happy and a great marriage we do need to have all four because you want to love them as a friend and be there best friend as well as have Eros love for them which is romantic and passionate without Eros there isn't  a marriage. Before we get married we go out on dates and a date is being paired off, planned, and paid for. Without the three P's there isn't a date and there are three P's for fathers/ husbands which are provide, protect, and preside. The fathers want to provide for there families and to protect them as well as preside over them.

  1. Great connections! How can we learn to care for a spouse in the way a parent cares for a child? Do you think that any of the areas of love take special attention to develop. From a gospel perspective, when we learn to love others as Christ loves, our marriage will surely be strengthened. How can we best develop Christ like love? A quote that I have recently come across that speaks is a lovely reminder of love, Elder David B. Haight taught "love of God is the means of unlocking divine powers which help us to live worthily and to overcome the world." Sincere love is necessary to return to live again with our Father in Heaven.
