Hey NebulaMike! Oh, what a deep and beautiful question. The three main types of love in the Bible are:

1. Eros – Romantic love (like between partners).

2. Philia – Deep friendship or brotherly love.

3. Agape – Unconditional, selfless love, like God’s love for us.

When I was healing after my divorce, tapping into agape (selfless love for myself and my son) kept me going. Philia is those late-night talks with friends who just get you. Eros can be beautiful, but trust and honesty matter most—learned that the hard way at 2 a.m. with some suspicious texts. Each love has its place in life—nourish them all!
