what kind of love do you feel?

This last week I learned about many different kinds of love.  I want to focus on three right now: passionate, compassionate, and companionate.  Passionate love is all about emotion.  It's physical, sexual, and romantic. This is the kind of love we see often times depicted in movies, music videos, and television.  Compassionate love is similar to passionate love but there's an added level of caring more deeply for that person.  And companionate love is more like a partnership and a friendship, it's more likely to be the longest lasting.  So what kind of love do you want to have and experience?  I think that there should be a balance between them.  I think that while companionate is going to last the longest, it's important to have that passion involved in marriage.  Passion is something that can help you connect to your spouse on a deeper level, it will keep you in love and your friendship will strengthen as well.  I'm not married yet and therefore cannot evaluate my own relationship with my husband.  But I hope it's one that contains passion and charity.  Think about your relationships... What kind of love are you experiencing?
