STENBERG TRIANGULAR THEORY OF LOVE

Sternberg's triangular theory of love was developed after the identification of passionate love and companionate love.

COMPONENT OF LOVE

There are three components of love.

Intimacy Passion Commitment

INTIMACY Intimacy involves feelings of

closeness, trust, and the sharing of one’s innermost thoughts, which can involve into a heightened level of trust between two people.

PASSION Passion is the motivational

component of love and reflects attraction, romance, and sexual desire, which is driven by sexual attraction.

COMMITMENT Commitment is the decision to

maintain a long-term caring relationship, which is a conscious effort to keep the love and connection in a relationship going.

FORMS OF LOVE

LIKING/FRIENDSHIP It refers to the set of feelings one experiences in relationships that can

truly be characterized as friendship. That is closeness, bondedness and warmth

INFATUATED LOVE: Romantic relationships often start out as infatuated love and become

romantic love as intimacy develops over time. Without developing intimacy or commitment, infatuated love may disappear suddenly.

EMPTY LOVE: Empty love is characterized by commitment without intimacy or passion. A

stronger love may deteriorate into empty love.

ROMANTIC LOVE Romantic love "derives from a combination of the intimate and passionate

components of love.

COMPANIONATE LOVE: Companionate love is an intimate, non-passionate type of love that is

stronger than friendship because of the element of long-term commitment.

FATUOUS LOVE: Fatuous love can be exemplified by a whirlwind courtship and marriage.

CONSUMMATE LOVE: Consummate love is the complete form of love, representing an ideal

relationship which people strive towards.
