Generic Love Types

Generic Love Types:

Generic Love Types refer to some of the basic different types of love that the ancient Greek philosophers had coined. The special thing is that each type of love has a specific purpose (which is to develop a specific trait).

Here are the main examples:

1) Storge Love: Is found within Cognatic Bonds, to develop *Kinship* among family members.

2) Philias Love: Is found within Fraternal Bonds, to develop *Masculinity* among men. Likewise, Philias Love can be found within Sororal Bonds, to develop *Femininity* among women. Philias love is generally a platonic, non-sexual love (similar to Storge Love).

3) Eros Love: Is found within Connubial Ties, to develop *Intimacy* among a husband and wife.
