"True Love and Flying Purple People Eaters: There Just Ain't No Such Animal"
^^awesome book about dating (internet) and relationships.
You don't get married for love. That is a myth. You get married for sex. Love is what you find along the way.
As for what I've done for love? Which love? Eros, Philos or Agape?
As for what I've done for my husband? I give him 100% freedom to come and go, leave or stay, be who he wants to be and hopefully have magnified his better qualities.

Agapi
And that is about the relationship that my wife and I have. Freedom, but the freedom and the personal need to come together.

Correct me if I am wrong (you know greek better than I do LOL) but isn't Agapi the love of all mankind? Ala Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr , Mother Theresa.... etc?
This is also the highest form of love and has nothing to do with the "love" between a man and a woman... unless my religion teacher from way back was drunk that day (which was a common occurance LOL).

Bfold - given the sources of our definitions we are BOTH correct!
I was taught of the three different words for love in Catholic religion class whereas you learned this word from a Greek woman (or should I say Cyprian?
).
"Agapē (IPA: /ˈægəpiː/[1]) (Mod.Gk. αγάπη [aˈɣa.pi]) (Ke. αγάπη IPA: [aˈga.pɛ]), is one of several Greek words translated into English as love. The word has been used in different ways by a variety of contemporary and ancient sources, including Biblical authors. Many have thought that this word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love. Greek philosophers at the time of Plato and other ancient authors have used forms of the word to denote love of a spouse or family, or affection for a particular activity, in contrast to philia—an affection that could denote either brotherhood or generally non-sexual affection, and eros, an affection of a sexual nature. The term 'agape' is rarely used in ancient manuscripts, but was used by the early Christians to refer to the self-sacrificing love of God for humanity, which they were committed to reciprocating and practicing towards God and among one another (also see kenosis)."

you haven't read his other thread then?
Anasthesia.... hmmmm....
LOL
I was thinking Anastacia... like the Disney anime I watched with nephew and my niece...
I"m sure it exists and there are a few lucky souls who get to experience it.
However, I think though, they are good people, and without it would be solid in life.
What I mean is, its not like the relationship defines them, but more of they are just awesome people.
You have to bet TRUE to be part of that dynamic. Quite honestly I have only met a like 3 people in my entire life who I think deserve or merit such a thing.
I'm not one of them. It requires such a depth, that I to bring it up here would be silly.
Dude, be a better person, then better people will surround U.
U are young... good luck.
