"lovers are brave soldiers, as they seek to prove themselves before each other or to rescue each other from danger." - Plato, The Ancient Mediterranean World, Page 92
People are meant to be with each other because of the fact that they truly care for one another. Plato says he condemned love based mainly on sexual desire but praised its moral, intellectual, and spiritual aspects. Although he thought this way, sex is a component of love that isn't a bad thing. Love itself though shouldn't be solely based on sex.
