Storge is, in English at least, a rather inelegant word for a form of love that is really very beautiful. Storge closely resembles philia in that it is a love without physical attraction, but it is related primarily to kinship and familiarity. It is a natural form of love that often flows between members of a family (however that may be configured) or long-term friends. This kind of love is steady and sure. This kind of love is deeply satisfying, it is something to cherish but is it enough to make the world go around? Are there any other aspects of love that it misses if love is to be ‘all we need’?
