Before moving to your final review, take a week to sit with Lewis's synthesis — how the four loves fit together and how the vision he has painted applies to your actual relationships right now. These questions are more personal and practical than previous weeks.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Looking back at the four loves, which one do you find most natural and easy? Which one feels most foreign or challenging to you? Why?
2.Lewis insists that the natural loves are genuine goods — not to be disparaged — but that they must be subordinate to Agape. In your current relationships, which of your loves feels most rightly ordered? Which feels most disordered?
3.Is there a relationship in your life right now where a natural love has become too demanding or possessive — where it has moved from gift-love toward need-love in an unhealthy way? What would it look like to bring that love back into right order?
