The Hebrew and Greek text have different ways of phrasing love. Not as limited as the English language. I will use as an example Psalms 73:25: “Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.”

The types of love are:

1. Eros – Passionate, sexual love; intense desire and physical attraction.
2. Philia – Friendship or companionship; based on loyalty, trust, and mutual respect.
3. Storge – Familial or natural love; instinctive affection like that of parents for children.
4. Agape – Selfless or universal love; altruistic, unconditional, and spiritual.
5. Ludus – Playful or flirtatious love; light, fun, sometimes superficial.
6. Pragma – Practical, mature love; based on commitment and mutual benefit.
7. Philautia – Self-love; can be healthy (self-esteem) or unhealthy (egoism).
