According to this theory, developed by the American psychologist Robert Sternberg, there are three components of love: Passion - falling in love and physical attraction. Intimacy is a deep sense of affection and togetherness. Commitment - willingness to maintain and develop relationships. These three components combine with each other, thereby giving rise to seven different types of love.
1. Sympathy / Friendship Think of a person to whom you can tell about any positive or negative event that has happened in your life, including the most intimate secrets. Of course you love him. But this love is sympathy or friendship, and does not pretend to be a relationship. 2. Falling in love (infatuation) Infatuated love may seem strong and overwhelming, but it, devoid of intimacy and commitment, is not durable. Very often, falling in love wins priority in your life, because it is due to the strongest craving - sexual attraction. But you should carefully evaluate how you fit together, and whether you want to be with this person for a long time. 3. Empty love This is the love that some of us share with our family and relatives. In this case, it is difficult for you to imagine a future without the other person, but there is no physical attraction, as well as the exchange of information regarding the details of your personal life. Unfortunately, many marriages are also sometimes based on empty love. 4. Romantic love Romantic love makes you feel butterflies in your stomach when you think about the object of love, but without commitment, this kind of love cannot last forever. The combination of passion and intimacy creates the illusion of true love, but without conscious and active work on a long-term relationship, the resulting feeling will not be able to turn into something more. 5. Friendly love At some point, a marriage or long-term relationship can develop into friendly love. This isn't too bad, since intimacy and commitment are the strongest of the three components. However, it is important to rekindle the fire and bring the passion back to where it belongs. Older people who no longer have a strong physical attraction are often on the lookout for companionship. 6. Fatal love Suddenly, a completely new person appears on your life path. The chemistry of love that has arisen between you consumes you whole, and you just can not resist each other. Everything is going great, and you are absolutely convinced that this is the person you have always dreamed of. Such a conclusion comes to mind based on a few superficial information that you have: where the object of your passion traveled, what kind of music he likes, what films and books he prefers, etc. And you, with the utmost seriousness, decide for yourself that you want to spend the rest of your life with this person. But the truth is that in the absence of intimacy and sharing personal stories, you can't judge a person objectively because you don't really know them.

My friend was unlucky to survive the divorce. This bastard not only cheated on her, but also tried to take away the children, can you imagine? The heifers drove into the house right in front of the children, and then the father's feelings leapt up, you see! But she didn't grieve for long. Found a website lesbiemates.com where I decided to try myself as a lesbian. Yes, she got so carried away that now she is going to live with one of the girls found there.

Physical attraction is actually important when it comes to relationships. And I don't understand people who are in long-distance relationship.

I can tell you that physical contact is not necessary for everyone, some people don't need too much of it. But for me, it's really important, and that's why I was looking for a girl on various dating websites london that would love to embrace just as much as I do. It was pretty hard, but I still managed to find the one.

Hi all. It was interesting to read. I think love is mutual work. Therefore, a woman and a man should constantly work on relationships together. My husband and I don't have a passion right now, but we get along well.

Yes, love is always a difficult job for both partners. Over time, passion goes away and only friendship remains. Thanks to my friend who gave me Tips On How To Make Him Want You. Now my family life is much better. Hope it helps someone as much as it helped me. Good luck in love everyone!
