Love and Dating

In class today we talked about love, 3 "filters" that effect love and the 4 types of love. We also talke about the three Ps of a date.The three filters are Propinquity, Physical attraction and Similarities. When talking about similarities, Brother Williams gave an example of a motorcycle dude with a big beard. As he said this I shuddered. Brother Williams saw this and asked me why. I explained that my dad does not have a beard and that it was not something I found attractive. He explained that we tend to be attracted to someone who seems familiar. Next we talked about the 4 forms of love. Here they are.
Eros- Romantic, Sexual
Storge- Parent to Child, Child to Parent
Agape- "No matter what"
Philia- Friends, Brotherly Love, can lead to Eros


Last but not least we listed the three P's of a Date

It is a date if it is ...

  • Planned 
  • Paid For 
  • Paired Off
If it doesn't have all three it is just " Hanging out."

We also made connections between a husband's responsibilities in the home and how the three P's allow them to practice those three major responsibilities.

Planned = Preside
Paid For (resources) = Provide
Paired Off (responsible commitment) = Protect
