When people talk of love, they often use it purely in the sense of love between a couple. Yet there are many forms of love that enrich our lives, some of which we barely notice. So it’s time to look around you and realize just how much you have in your life.

1. Partners

Partners Photo Credit: eyebex As I’ve said, this is the obvious one, and arguably the most intense. When you love a partner, it goes through many changes, beginning with the honeymoon stage and with luck (and a lot of work) evolving into long-term security. And it’s not just for the young! Doesn’t your heart lift when you see an elderly couple holding hands?

2. Children

3. Family

4. Friends

If you have friends who love and accept you for who you are, who never criticize or judge and always support you when you need it, they are to be cherished.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. Pets

Letting an animal into your heart is amazing, they give you years of companionship and are worth every penny and every moment. My cat is one of the best things in my life. Just a cat? I think not.

6. Religion

If you believe in one God or several or, like pagans, love Mother Earth, this can provide great consolation in difficult times and also make your daily life peaceful and happy.

7. Yourself

A healthy self-respect will also help you avoid making mistakes with other people, and be happy in yourself. Can you think of any other forms of love? How many people in your life do you truly love?
