Types of love that exist

- Eros: It is passionate and very romantic love, it is based on pure physical attraction and does not need to involve the mind.
- Ludus: In this type of love, the main objective is to achieve adventure and daily fun, by connecting the body and the mind.
- Storge: When couples achieve this type of love, they are much more committed to a sincere, loyal, harmonious and lasting relationship. Sex is no longer the focal point of the relationship.
- Mania: A very unhealthy love, since it becomes very obsessive and is common in people with low self-esteem.
- Pragma: It is a love that seeks to find its equal, it is very practical and realistic.
- Agape: The purest type of love that exists, since it is completely destitute and only seeks the well-being of the partner. Jealousy does not exist, and you always want reciprocity. It combines both love Eros, Ludus and Storge.

When you start a new relationship, it is common for it to progress through each of the love types. In the beginning, it is always presented as Eros love, full of adventure, lust and actions caused by physical desire.
Getting a relationship to the Storage stage requires a lot of effort, because it takes a much deeper and sincere love.
Once you have reached Agape, you have reached the greatest achievement in love. A sincere relationship, full of pure love. That will last for a long time.
