Storge is a wide-ranging force which can apply between family members, friends, pets and owners, companions or colleagues; it can also blend with and help underpin other types of tie such as passionate love or friendship.[4] Storge love[edit] Sometimes the term is used to refer to the love between married partners who are committed and plan to have a long relationship together, particularly as a fundamental relational foundation after initial infatuation (limerence). Children and marriage are seen as legitimate long-term aims for their bond,[8] while passionate sexual intensity is of lesser importance than in other love styles.[9] Agape, Philia, Philautia, Storge, Eros: Greek terms for love Storge (familial love) Family Day ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5503.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5503.txt
