spiritual love
Love beyond flesh
Spiritual love is affection or devotion that transcends physical desire, rooted in connection of souls, shared faith, or divine reverence.
It may describe love between people that feels destined or sacred: Their bond was spiritual love, not mere attraction.
The term also applies to love directed toward God or the divine, central to many religious traditions.
