Different Types of Love

I am putting together a blog post on the different ‘types’ of love. In reading the book The 5 Love Languages, by Gary Chapman he posits that there are two types of love:  romantic euphoric ‘falling in love’ which won’t last longer than a few years at the most; and then there is real love that lasts.

However, I work with many clients who believe they have fallen out of love with their partner they now love them as their best friend but are no longer in love with them. I know their is only one person that I feel in love with:  my partner, whereas I love many friends and family in different ways, This topic feels like one where we emotionally understand the differences but trying to describe it is difficult to impossible. I’d love to have your feelings and thoughts on this!
