Real Types of Love

A good marriage will likely need to have a strong sex interest. Well, for most of us, interest in sex is a trifle more than passing. Couples normally do have strong erotic feelings for each other. A good marriage includes mutual joy and satisfaction in sex. Sex is important, but it is only one of the many very important parts of good relationship. Respect and admiration is also a big contribution to a happy marriage because couples need to have a strong mutual attraction and hold each other in high regard. Friendship and admiration is also important to a good marriage. They need to have many things in common…the more the better. They must like each other a lot, and be the best of friends.

And, of course, affection. There must be tender feelings. Each partner should provide the other with a haven of refuge from harsh attacks in the outside world. We all need sympathy and empathy to soothe our hurts. Love can mean a shoulder to cry on when our burden are too heavy to bear alone. Finally, self giving devotion. A good marriage has to have a good deal of agape of love. All of us have some unlovable traits. A spouse must at times love not because of, but inspite of, the others faults. You will have to love your mate even during those times when you feel he or she does not deserve it. Your mate may at times be cranky, or lose their temper, or be depressed, or not want to talk to you.
