The living room is a space for family life, social arts, and indoor play. It is often the location of the hearth, symbolizing the warmth and spirit of the home.
The living room is a place for the family to interact. Human contact and relationships bring warmth and love to our lives. Involvement with others enriches our lives. The home is the place where children, indeed each of us, learn to love. The homemaker has a significant task in nurturing the ability to love among the children and family members.

Love is a growing, developing process. The Greeks had terms for several kinds of love that can be experienced and can build upon one another:

Eros—physical, passionate identification;

Philia—love of the soul, friendship, heartfelt;

Storge—love of mothers for their children, deep, overflowing, permanent;

Agape—mutual moral warmth, respect, sacrifice.

Home is a place where many levels of love manifest.
