Love is a phrase that is mostly used in a romantic relationship. Also, we do say to our “I love you” to our young ones. Some of us are reluctant to say the term out.

Agape- universal love

The love is modeled on the Christian God’s love for men and man’s love for God. Whether or if love is reciprocated, it is the love that is offered. That is love without any self-interest.

Love sets a high standard, yet it may be the basis for happiness and joy.

Eros- passionate, erotic love

We should probably get it out of the way first. Eros denotes erotic, sexual, or passionate love. It’s frequently all about need, and it’s more about the person who is sexually appealing than it is about the person or object that is the subject of that love. It’s addictive. It can bring both joy and grief in a romantic relationship- which is not always beneficial. More hearts are crushed on Valentine’s Day as a result of unfulfilled sensual love.

Storge- paternal love for one’s children

This is the kind of love that moms enjoy, albeit it is rarely mentioned when we talk about love. It is the love of parents for their children. It is thought to be the purest kind of love and not a romantic relationship. It is natural since it does not corrode. It’s emotional because we can’t stop ourselves from feeling it, and it doesn’t care if the person deserves to be loved.
