Love Styles
Introduction
Love styles grew out of close relationships research. Clearly we each express
parts of each style to some degree and this mix will vary in expression across relationships and over time. Reaching for another or opposite style may characterise otherwise inexplicable choices of affair partner in a marital infidelity or partner poaching.
The six styles are called
Eros: My partner and I have the right physical chemistry between
us Ludus: I believe that what my partner doesn't know about me wont hurt him/her. Storge: Our love is the best kind because it grew out of a long friendship. Pragma: A main consideration in choosing my partner was how he/she would reflect on my family.
