Storge Love

Those who identify with Storge are loyal, committed, and dependable partners.

Unlike some other love types that are based on heightened physical attraction and playfulness, Storgic love is built upon a sense of comfort and commonality in interests, values, and goals.

These people value relationships with an established sense of closeness and trust, and as a result often find love in existing friendships. When combined, all of these ultimately create a foundation for both a stable and enduring relationship.

Storgic love is ultimately rooted in friendship. It is a fondness born out of familiarity and dependency. Unlike Eros, it is much less contingent on our personal qualities and yet with the right partners, Eros love can often blossom into Storgic love; transforming lust and passion into a shared desire for greater understanding of one another and building of a union.

Storgic love can create a foundation for both personal and mutual growth. Two lovers can help and support each other to live truer, richer lives by relating to one another authentically and lovingly presenting to one another the limitations of their beliefs and helping them improve on blind spots in their character.

The Storgic lover that approaches another with a degree of openness, honesty, and will to change, can develop both themselves and the strength of their relationship.
