Eros refers to a passionate love for union, and it’s important to note up front that eros (or erotic love) does not simply refer to sex. At the deepest level, it’s a love for truth, beauty and goodness which calls someone outside of themselves. Outside of sex, eros might, for example, refer to an attraction towards beautiful art or the desire to know the truth.
Agape refers to selfless love, as when someone gives up one’s life for another. Many people think these two kinds of love are opposed to each other, and this is especially the case with sex, which is a kind of eros or erotic love. Doesn’t selfless love contradict sexual love or erotic love? Sexual love seeks sexual satisfaction, and how can sexual satisfaction be selfless? These are important questions, and the answer to these questions highlights the beauty of the sacrament of marriage.
