There is four different kinds of love: Storge is the kind of found in the affection between parents and children, Philia which is love between friends, Eros "erotic" is the kind of love between a man and a woman, Agape love that is independent of one's feeling for another. I would like to experience all of these sometime in my life. I want a love the develops over time and lasts. I loved learning about dating this week because it's something I'm experiencing right now in my life and it's so interesting to learn about the different kinds of love. There is also four stages to marriage: dating, courtship, engagement, and marriage. I have never heard of all these steps before I really enjoyed learning about them. Dating is when you date lots of people and get know lots of different people as well. Courtship is when after dating all those people you find one that you want to be in a series relationship with and could see yourself marrying them. Then after that is engagement, which is when you find the one you want to be with so you start moving forward towards marriage. Marriage is last but the relationship is still growing, still trying to work together as a couple and grow to a good, mature love. I was so happy I loved about these things, I feel like I'm more prepared in a way when dating and meeting people.
