The aim of this dissertation is to draw a connection between romantic love and love for God, through the eyes of three philosophers, Miguel De Unamuno, Erich Fromm and Vladimir Solovyov. Each thinker’s theory will be explained and briefly evaluated. The two typologies of loves will be compared as ways of overcoming our sense of separateness and as attempts to experience unity. The nature, motives and consequences of both types of loves will be examined and then compared. Finally, an attempt will be made to see whether what a believer experiences in his or her love for God, is similar to what any human being can experience through romantic love.
