5+1 interesting facts about love and Valentine’s Day
Today love is in the air! Regardless of anyone’s relationship status, this is another good opportunity to and learn something new about the concept of love itself and Valentine’s Day! For this reason we’ve collected 5+1 interesting facts about these (actually more).
1. What is love?
Philosophers have been trying to answer this question since the birth of
human cultures. In the Hungarian language we can talk about two kinds of love: szerelem
(romantic love) and szeretet (the warm feeling you
have towards your friends and family). However, ancient Greeks distinguished no
less than 7 types of it:
|
Eros |
A passionate but not
too deep connection based on strong physical attraction |
|
Philia |
The kind of love you
have for your friends and family |
|
Storge |
The kind of unconditional
love parents have towards their children |
|
Agape |
Selfless, universal
love for humankind, nature, and God from a spiritual point of view. |
|
Ludus |
The flirty, playful
feelings we experience at the beginning of a relationship |
|
Pragma |
Long-lasting love
that develops with time if both parties are in harmony with each other and
working on it (the typical way of how long-term relationships work) |
|
Philautia |
Love for yourself –
you can develop a healthy self-esteem or an unhealthy personality if you have
too much or too little of it. |
2. You can literally suffer from a broken heart
There are many ways in which being in love may affect your physical
health as well. Scientists sometimes compare this condition to addictions, as
similar hormonal and chemical changes happen in your body in both cases. This
explains why breakups are often so hard to get over.
However, some people literally end up in hospital after an event like
this and get diagnosed with broken heart syndrome. This disease is “a temporary
heart condition that's often brought on by stressful situations and extreme
emotions”.
It has also been observed that people who live in a happy relationship recover faster from their injuries compared to those who are going through a hard time with their significant other. Polygamous men are slightly more likely to get a heart attack than monogamous ones, as it is an even bigger and more stressful responsibility to take care of several wives and children at the same time.
3. Valentine’s Day
While most people agree that in a good relationship you should love your
partner every day, some of them consider Valentine’s Day a special occasion and
get overzealous about it. For example in 2014 Joseph Andrew Dekenipp, an inmate
serving his sentence in Arizona, USA, chose this day for his escape so he could
spend the evening having dinner with his girlfriend.
On the other hand, besides singles the owners of adult websites don’t have a reason to celebrate either, as today is one of those days in the year when they experience the lowest traffic.
4. Love strikes twice
In Brazil Valentine’s Day (aka Dia dos Namorados) is celebrated on 12th
June. Therefore if you are not Brazilian but have a crush on one, keep in mind
that there will be two dates that you should try not to forget. (Or you can
choose to stay single and go on a short vacation to Brazil every February).
Such differences in the timing of holidays may occur in other situations
too if you date someone from another country. For example, if you are a Catholic and your partner is an orthodox, you may end up celebrating Christmas and
Easter twice a year.
5. It will work out...
You still don’t have a date for this Valentine’s Day? It’s not too late,
as it’s Monday, and you are going to work, right?...
According to different statistics about 25% of today’s couples met
through work. This is the most frequent way of starting a relationship. The
second one is through friends, while dating apps and other similar platforms
have a lower ranking. This is partly due to the fact that while in the first
two environments we usually try to be ourselves and behave naturally, when we
sign up for a dating app, we already have various expectations and approach the
whole process differently.
+1 The 5 love
languages
While Valentine’s
Day promotes showing your commitment towards your significant other by buying
them gifts, this is definitely not the only way you can do that. Gary Chapman
created 5 categories based on people’s most important needs in a relationship,
which we call the 5 love languages. While for some of them it is essential to give
and receive gifts often regardless of their financial value, others find one or
two of these more important:
|
Words of affirmation |
Praising your partner often, saying positive words
to them and about what they do |
|
Physical touch |
Hugs, kisses, physical closeness |
|
Acts of service |
Doing favours and helping your partner mostly with
different tasks |
|
Quality time |
Spending time with your partner and paying attention
to them without any disturbing factors (such as the television or mobile
phone) involved. |

Happy international prπpπse day!
As it turns out, it is also international "Propose Day" today.
"It's Propose day, so I had better follow his example..." π π
I'd like to ask what your opinion on this is. Would you be happy if your significant other chose this date just because many other people do? Or would you expect them to choose a more personal one (for example your birthday, etc.)? π Leave us a comment or contact us:
