4 Types of love that all marriages need to survive

If you want your marriage to survive any ordeal, it's important to have these 4 types of love present in your marriage.

These 4 types of love are important for all married couples!

1. Philia

Philia is the type of friendship that you can find among best friends. In all marriages, your spouse should not only be your partner, but also your best friend.

Being best friends with and being supportive of your spouse makes your marriage happier, and more fulfilling.

2. Eros

Eros is romantic love. Of course, romance should always be a part of your marriage, even if you’ve already been married a long time.

A lot of couples fall into the habit of forgetting the romance in their marriage, which slowly makes the passion fade away. While it’s true that you can’t always go back to the ‘honeymoon’ phase, couples should always try to remain intimate and romantic with each other.

3. Storge

Storge is the type of love that’s found in families. It involves empathy or understanding how a person feels, as well as being compassionate.

This type of love is especially important for couples who already have a family, or are planning to have a family of their own. It means that the both of you should do your best to raise your children well, and also be supportive of each other as parents.

4. Agape

Agape is unconditional love. Unconditional love means that no matter what happens, your love for each other will stay strong and remain strong.

In a marriage, selflessness is very important. Being selfless with your spouse makes you happier, and also makes your spouse happier. Putting your family’s needs first before your own needs is a way of practicing agape in your life.
