Storge (pronounced /ˈstɔrdʒiː/; στοργή, storgē), also called familial love, is the Greek Greek , an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, is the language of the Greeks. Native to the southern Balkans, it has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning 34 centuries of written records. In its ancient form, it is the language of classical ancient Greek literature and the New Testament of word for natural affection[1]—such as the love of a parent toward a child, "cherishing one's kindred, especially parents or children".[2] In social psychology, storge is the form of love between friends.[1]
Storge may be used as a general term to describe the love between exceptional friends, and the desire for them to care compassionately for one another.[citation needed]
Another interpretation is for storge to be used to describe a sexual relationship between two people that gradually grew out of a friendship[1]—storgic lovers sometimes cannot pinpoint the moment that friendship turned to love.[citation needed] Storgic lovers are friends first, and the friendship can endure even beyond the breakup of the sexual relationship.[1] They want their significant others to also be their best friends, and will choose their mates based on homogamy Homogamy is marriage between individuals who are, in some culturally important way, similar to each other. Homogamy may be based on socio-economic status, class, gender, ethnicity, or religion. It is a form of assortative mating.[citation needed]
Storgic lovers place much importance on commitment, and find that their motivation to avoid committing infidelity Infidelity is a violation of the mutually agreed-upon rules or boundaries of an intimate relationship, which constitutes a significant to extreme breach, or outright default, on the implicit good faith contract of a relationship, or a betrayal of core shared values with which the integrity and nature of the relationship is defined. In common use, is to preserve the trust between the two partners. Children and marriage are seen as legitimate forms of their bond, while sex is of lesser importance than in other love styles.[citation needed]
Advantages of storgic love may be the level of friendship, understanding, and intimacy that the partners share, while disadvantages may include a lack of passion and potential boredom in the relationship.[citation needed]
