Appreciating Differences

Understanding differences
Some psychologists say that primary “love styles” is basically based on game playing, passion, and friendship. Some also suggest that there are six different ways of experience in being in love, and most people experience love in two or more of these experience. The six types of love styles are eros, that is, passionate/romantic love; storge, that is love as deep as friendship; mania, that is, love as obsession; ludos, that is love as a game; pragma, that is, love as a useful arrangement, and agape, which is, love as selflessness.
So, you can spend some time thinking, about what does love means to you, and what it also means with your partner and also think on what styles best fit you, as well as best fit your partner.
If you see that your partner is very romantic and you are not, then this doesn’t mean that you love your partner less. It just means you experience love very differently. Appreciating and understanding the difference is a very important part in any kind of relationship.
