I hate to be the "remedial" one in the group, but I can't seem to find where Dr. Harley defines the two (?) types of love: emotional (romantic) and the other one, I can't remember . . . Can anyone help? My husband says he "loves" me like you would a mother, sister, best friend, whatever, but he's not in "romatic" love with me right now. Just trying to find the Doc's definitions. Thanks.<BR>Sooney

Once we can understand this perspective then we can see the errors that in the other perspectives thereby givning us a clearer picture of reality.<P>Just tested link and it isn't working for some reason. Go to <A HREF="http://www.rbc.net" TARGET=_blank>www.rbc.net</A> and do a search on what is real love. Hopefully that will bring it up.<P>MONDO HUG to ya!!!!!!<BR>------------------<BR><B><I>God Bless,<BR>Rob</I></B><BR> regilmor@swbell.net <P>[This message has been edited by professorg (edited June 03, 2000).]<p>[This message has been edited by professorg (edited June 03, 2000).]

Hi Sooney...<P>What you're looking for is what Dr. H calls "<B>caring love</B>"...<P>A brief discussion of it is in the <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi6010_give.html" TARGET=_blank>"Give & Take: The Secret to Marital Compatibility"</A> book... pages 21-22.<P>basically...<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><B>Caring love</B> is our effort to meet someone else's needs. The caring kind of love <B><I>does not</I></B> depend on one person having a certain balance in the other person's Love Bank. It has nothing to do with compatibility. You can care for people whether or not they have been effective in caring for you.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Jim
