Discussion - love

Meaning of Love There are different styles of love relationships that describe the way we love. We fall in love based on the physical characteristics of a person, which is based on the physical beauty of the person and dwindles when that attraction is gone. Love relationships that are based on emotions such as jealousy, intense dependency tend to be a maniac in nature as described by Lee’s Styles of Love (p. 155). There are times when we developed feelings because of mutual respect we develop for our friends and classmates, and the form of relationships features compassion. Lee describes it as storge style of love. At times, we also have true feeling for passion based on reality and sense because there is a natural attraction between those people and us. Such love relationships are more practical and long lasting than the style of love that is based on the appearance and emotional feeling of pity. Lee calls that style of love pragma.
Process of Love in Men and Women
Men and women love differently, and that leads to variant process of love in both sexes. The motivation behind falling in love varies from care, trust, respect to honest in men and women. Benokraitis understands that truly romantic men tend to take their time when they want to woo the lady of their dreams (p. 160). The men take their time, energy and make sacrifices until they get the attention of the woman they have loved. The process of expressing love interests depends on age with men falling in love faster than women. Women fall in love later, but they commit their feelings longer than men do. Falling in love is different from intimacy, and both sexes have differing beliefs. While men are convinced that sex creates the intimate connection with their women, women prefer a more emotional connection than sexual form of intimacy. Women love talking about the problems that affect them, and it culminates into a sexual connection. Both sexes embrace self-sacrifice, companionship, and friendship as essential factors in their affection (Benokraitis 160).
Web Content Based On Love and Loving Relationships-Chapter 6
The article entitled Philosophy of Love examines the nature of love together with its ethical and political aspects. The article acknowledges the role of love in songs, novels, and films that dates back to reigns of ancient Greek. The arguments in the article correlate with Benokraitis text regarding definition of love and loving relationships. The articles categorize the nature of love into Eros, philia, and agape in the fashion as Lee’s styles of love. The nature of love in the article is described from emotional, physical, and spiritual perspective that is covered in Chapter 6 of Benokraitis reading. However, it does not identify love as an essential component of human survival but as an aspect that has not been understood by philosophers. Romance is an ethical aspect of love that is higher that sexual and physical attractiveness. The content of the article enhances the content in Benokraitis texts by providing a philosophical perspective regarding definition of love.
