A segment taken from an article about monogamy:
While our society has set one standard for love and relationships, other societies have recognized that multiple types of each exist. The Greeks had several words for different types of love, including:
Eros –- erotic love involving physical attraction and emotional intensity;
Agape –- sacrificial love involving placing a loved one’s welfare above your own;
Storge –- love as friendship and companionship;
Pragma –- love as a “shopping list” of desired attributes, such as being a good parent;
Ludus –- love as a game;
Mania –- jealous, obsessive, dependent love.
