Love Style Inventory Paper

797 Words4 Pages

“The only thing we never get enough of is love; and the only thing we never give enough of is love” (Henry Miller.) Love is imperative in any friendship, relationship, or family. There is never too much love given, therefore love with your all, and love others the way you would want to be loved. People love differently, but we all are striving for the same thing; a happy, healthy bond between one another. John Lee says that there are 6 different love styles, and in this paper I will explain my results on the “Love Style” inventory and the “Are You a Good Listener” survey. The results of my “Love Style” inventory, seemed a bit inconclusive. Out of the six love styles I scored closely on five. I scored a total of six on the Eros, Manic, Pragma, …show more content…

The pragmatic lover is practical and careful when it comes to relationships. When my boyfriend and I first began “talking” we wanted to know all about one another, every detail. We talked a lot about our families, our goals, the future, and what we both wanted in a partner. We were in this talking stage for about 6 months before we were exclusive. I was brought up without a father figure in my home and I saw my mom dating for years and she would always get her heart broken. I in turn did not want that to happen to me, I wanted to date-to-marry. Which is why I wanted to continue getting to know my partner to make sure that this was someone I could see myself with for a long time. Therefore, meeting each other’s parents was a huge deal to us. We wanted to make the best impression on them because we planned on being together forever. Number 28 on the inventory asks “A main consideration in choosing a lover is how he/she reflects on my family” which definitely reflects my views on dating. My family knows me better than anyone and if for some reason they don’t like you or don’t think we are compatible for some reason I am pretty sure they are

Even though the Kiwanis’s store and staff were small, the staff have to do tremendous daily work. People donate their no longer used items to the store like furniture, clothes, appliances, kitchenware etc. These donations are classified as raw materials considering it’s the only way that it can gain its inventory. Although these donations are the only way that the store gains its inventory, doesn’t mean it’s the only input the store offers.

    In the chapter “Love and Meaning” from Irving Singer’s book “The Pursuit of Love”, Singer argues that Love is the true meaning to the human existence. Certain elements of Singer’s work can be shown through bonds created by individuals, and how love is a trait passed on through motherly bonds.

    In the present, if a man and woman go out on a date, there is much confusion as to what it means, is it a friendly encounter or is it a formal date? It is also normal nowadays for men and women to be friends prior to and after a romantic relationship. Today, it is more common to meet at a public date spot and go home separately because “it takes away any fear and ensures safety until you get to know your date a little more”(Balavage). Similarly, between past and present it is still considered rude to keep your date waiting for longer than a few minutes. Both man and woman are to be on time and ready.

    407 Words  | 2 Pages

    Love is a complicated concept in this world that people frequently experience in their lifetime. In her essay, “Love’s Vocabulary,” Diane Ackerman explores the beautiful idea of love and describes love in many creative ways with insightful words. Out of all the things she compares love to, her most excellent comparison is with an “intoxicant,” a substance that has the power to cause people to lose control of their behavior. This comparison expresses many truths about love because, like an intoxicant, love is an influential force that is comprised of numerous elements and comes in many different types. Ackerman’s choice of comparing love to a word with such negative connotation is wise, for it implies that love can be so strong to the extent

The power of love is shown in the text Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, and in the film “La Mission” because George decides to accept Lennie in his life and treat him like a brother after his aunt dies. Also, Che learns to accept his homosexual son, Jesse, and care for him . These texts make it clear that love is accepting and caring for yourself and others, yet they also mention what love is not which is not accepting others for who they are.
