The Greeks have 3 words for explaining love
1. A godly love or a unquestioning and total love to a higher power.
2. Brotherly love or the love/relationships between friends and family.
3. Erotic love or love of a sexual nature.
I believe that you can feel any of these or any combination of these towards people. Or in special cases you can have all 3. They are all seperate feelings. I feel all 3 towards my wife. They are all seperate feelings but they combine to make her the love of my life.
