The essence of agape love is self-sacrifice. It is likened to the sacrificial love parents have for their children regardless of whether it is reciprocated or not. It is the love that drives one to save the helpless, even driving one to help his enemies. It can also be described as the feeling of content or holding one in high regard. It is to love completely like how one loves a spouse wholly, without expecting anything in return. Agape love is said to be different from other forms of loves in that you can choose it. Not all relationships reach this form of love. You can elect to love someone, like your spouse this way because it is the best for your family & marriage. Agape love focusses on how you can meet the person's needs. it is not romantic or sexual. it's very nature is love itself. Also known as "Godly" love.
