Instruction: Draw a symbol that you think a representation of that type of love then Explain what the meaning of that symbol is.

Kind of Love Symbol Explain

Eros is erotic or sexual or passionate love and its

EROS symbol is heart with an arrow because it's more
about the person who's feeling sexually attractive
than it is about the person who is the focus of that
love or thing that is the focus of that love. It is
addicting. In the Old Testament, the concept of
eros is used to describe the physical and sensual
connection between a husband and wife.
Ludus symbol is a wink emoticon because Ludus is
LUDUS very flirtatious and fun, without the strings that
come with eros or pragma. It can be seen in the
very early stages of relationships, when two
people are flirting, courting each other, and
crushing on each other. It often involves laughing,
teasing, and feeling giddy around a person. It's
very childlike in that way, though it can certainly
evolve.
Storge symbol is a couple and a heart in the middle
STORGE of them because for me having family start with a
couple and the heart between them is their love
for each other. Storge is the love shared between
family members (typically immediate family), and
sometimes close family friends or friends from
childhood. It differs from philia in the way that it's
reinforced by blood, early memories, and
familiarity. Storge is compassionate, protective,
and deeply rooted in memory.

Pragma is sometimes translated to practical love,

PRAGMA referencing the kind of love grounded in duty,
commitment, and practicality. Also, Pragma
requires a commitment to each other and might
be thought of as a conscious choice or perhaps as
the type of love that takes years to develop
through bonding and shared experiences. Pragma
for me represent wedding, a wedding ring it
symbolizes their longstanding relationship and life
partnership like an old couple that's been together
for decades and decades.
Agape is selfless love, like the kind you might
AGAPE associate with saintly figures like Mother Teresa or
activists like Malala. Agape for me symbolizes a
tree a life because it's the love you feel for all
living things without question, that you extend
knowingly without expectations for anything in
return. It's a very pure and conscious love. It's
similar to what we sometimes refer to as
unconditional love.
