In class this week, we have been talking about dating, love, marriage, and all that jazz. At the beginning of the week I thought, "well, I'm already married, so I don't really need to pay attention in class or do any of the readings." Wrong-O! As I listened in class and did some of the readings, I have been able to better appreciate what my wife and I have and I have found things that I can do better to strengthen our relationship (because it's not like you say "I do" and then you're set for life, marriage is something that you have to work at).
Something that I thought was interesting when talking about love was the 4 different kinds of love: Storge, Philia, Eros, and Agape. I had never heard of these kinds of live, but I knew they existed (if that makes any sense). I think it is important in a relationship (especially with your significant other) that all 4 of these types of love exist and I think that if you don't have and work at these 4 types of love with your spouse, your marriage will not live up to its potential.
