1- PHYSICAL LOVE: touch, closeness, presence, sex.
2- MENTAL LOVE : to understand, to consider, inspiring and useful feeling.
3- EMOTIONAL LOVE : to be seen, listened to, appreciated, respected, protected.
4- SPIRITUAL LOVE : connection, exchange and living energetic feelings.
I think that in a relationship, when the 4 needs of love are taken into account and met, the relationship will flow and the partners will feel loved.
A mix between the material and the subtle, a balance between our needs and the needs of the other.
Because these needs vary from one person to another, i.e. some have more need for physical love than spiritual love or more need for emotional love than mental etc.
The best thing, in my opinion, is to communicate within the relationship about each other's needs and agree on whether the other can meet them and how best to do so.
These types of love are usually expressed in 5 basic ways, As documented by Gary Chapman, in his book the 5 love languages, which seek to explain the 5 ways humans express love to one another, which are:
- Words of Affirmation
- Physical Touch
- Acts of Service
- Quality Time
- Receiving Gifts
It's important to know the love languages of the people in your world, knowing their love languages will help you to know how to relate with all of them, you will know what works and what doesn't work for each of the people in your life.
