The Greeks defined love in four categories:
*Agape love is unconditional love. It is love by "choice" even if you are not pleased. A good example is "God loves us with our faults."
*Philia love is the dispassionate virtuous love, guided by our likes or our healthy or unhealthy needs and desires.
*Storge is the word for family love and the physical show of "affection", the need for physical touch. Sometimes the love between exceptional friends.
*Eros is the physical "sexual" desire, intercourse. It is the root word of erotic, and eroticism.
