Love is a subject that many scientists and specialists have done large amounts of research on and something that they are still researching today. Love is a psychological concept and as humans grow, our minds and the way that we think changes. There is one theory that cuts the concept of love into three main parts.

What's love got to do with it? Well, Sternberg’s theory says that there is a lot more to love then what people realize. In his Triangular Theory of Love, Sternberg describes love based on three different scales: passion, intimacy, and commitment. Passion is the feeling of sexual attraction to another, intimacy is having emotional feelings in the relationship, and commitment is the intent to keep the relationship even if there are problems. The key thing to remember is that if a relationship is based

In social psychology, there are three main types of love that combine to form different types of love. In Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love, there are three main types of love: liking (intimacy alone), empty love (commitment alone), and infatuation (passion alone) (Kassin, Fein, & Markus, 2013). When intimacy, commitment
The Triangular Theory Of Love was developed by Robert Sternburg and his associates. According to the theory, love has three essential elements. They are intimacy, passion, and commitment. He uses a triangle to explain his theory. The interaction of these three elements produce eight types of love. Sternburg says a love based on one component is less likely to survive then one that is based on two or more.So let’s go over the eight types.

In my own life I have only experienced a couple different forms of the love that Sternberg describes. The two forms that I know I have experienced are affectionate love and infatuation. Consummate love is
the "Triangular Theory of Love" which defines the three components of love needed for a "perfect" relationship as commitment, passion, and intimacy (companionship) (Wikipedia).
