Is biological love (love between parent and child, siblings, etc.) more lasting than love between chosen spouses, partners and friends?
Have you ever known someone to fall out of love with a family member?

It certainly seems that way.
And no, not really.

filo/storgov from (5384) and storge (cherishing one's kindred, especially parents or children) Transliterated Word Phonetic Spelling Philostorgos; fil-os'-tor-gos Definition:
The mutual love of parents and children and wives and husbands loving affection, prone to love, loving tenderly, chiefly of the reciprocal tenderness of parents and children In most cases that I have know of the bond is very strong even if issues come about. But I have seen at least 2 instances where a son and mother did not get along. I always thought that a man should treat his mother with honor and respect, but if the set up of the relationship was not initiated correctly and maintained throughout a child's early years by the parent or mother in this situation the road I found can be very difficult.

Friends and lovers we pick. Family, we don't. Most of my relatives, (including my siblings) are not that close to me, and I honestly don't have much desire to be close with them.

So I guess it depends on the family Rock.

So I guess it depends on the family Rock. Only blood that I've ever truly felt a lifetime bond with has been my parents, and my daughter.
