.For God it is platonic spiritual love.Romantic love is nowhere which has claimed itself as stronger.Even Love between Hindu God Krishna and Radha was a platonic love,whereas Krishna's with his wife Rukmini was romantic love.Yet people remember Krishna -Radha or Krishna-Meera more.

ct both sufis in India and Bhakti era poets used this symbolism. Krishna represents God and Radha the human soul , trying to reacgh god forever.
Krishna of Mahabharat left vrindavan as a kid and never came back. Radha was already an adult.
Meera loved Krishna as a Bhakt, a follower like a Christian saint loves jesus.
Hindi movies and court culture has distorted the tales to no end.
But yes An spiritual love between god and humans is considered to be on hire plain.

Platonic friendship is friendship that reciprocates equally what a friend has done. Platonic love is like friendship, only that it involves a relationship/relation between two people. Platonic love and platonic friendship could therefore be one in the same. Romantic love in the other hand, involves a little bit of physical wanting which can possibly lead to sexual wanting. In most cases, platonic love will be different to romantic love since platonic love does not involve any sexual wanting and therefore may most likely not be stronger than romantic love.

Platonic love just means that you're not having sex. A sexual/romantic relationship does'nt have to be stronger than a platonic one.

Meaning of platonic (adjective)
purely spiritual; theoretical; without sensual desire. It is the love you feel for a friend.
I think that if you love someone you love them no matter what.
I mean, you love your Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, Cousin.
When you love , You love.. And love is all things..
<>< God bless

I would say platonic love could be longer lasting the romantic or lustful love. However its nice to be attracted to your partner. It would really stink to make love to someone you are not attracted to.

Platonic is based on illusion. A crush, a dream.
It cannot be stronger than true love.
