The Final Styles of Love

In two previous articles, I have discussed that perhaps love is not the same to everyone. In fact there are various styles of love. The first two styles of love discussed were eros and ludus.

So how do you really know if your mate loves you? It is not as simple as asking the question and accepting the given answer. Anyone can speak the three little words “I love you”. However it takes a special … Continue reading
