4 Names for Love

DAY 3 OF 4

Pragma

Pragma love is most easily seen between an old married couple. It takes a lot of patience and maturity to make a relationship last decades, and that’s a hallmark of Pragma love! Pragma love is committed sacrificial and works hard to make a relationship work.

Abraham and Sarah demonstrated Pragma love, and we can see their story in the Bible. They had been married for decades while they waited for God to answer their prayers to have children. Their patience wavered at times, but God did keep his promise in Genesis 21:1-7. It takes pragma love for a couple to endure life’s ups and downs!

Do you know someone, like grandparents or great-grandparents, who has remained committed to each other for a very long time? What questions would you ask them about making love last?

In this Bible Reading Plan, we’ll look at 4 words from the Greek language that represent different types of love and how the Bible encourages us to express it.
