I want to introduce you to an extremely interesting three-component theory of love by psychologist Robert Sternberg. He identifies three fundamental components of love and several of its forms based on the various combinations of these components.
Do you think all the components are present in your life?
What is your form of love called?
The components of love according to Sternberg are:
1. Proximity.
It should be understood as a sense of unity, belonging, cohesion, connectedness.
2. Passion.
Sexual attraction and accompanying romantic relationships are implied.
3.Commitment.
In the short term, this is the same desire to stay with your partner, and in the long term, the construction of joint plans.
So, depending on how the three factors of love are combined, it can take on a variety of forms.
-none of the three components - the absence of love;
-only intimacy is friendship;
-only passion is love;
-obligations without intimacy and passion - empty love;
-intimacy and passion - romantic love;
-intimacy and commitment - friendly love;
-passion and commitment - fatal love;
-all three components are perfect love.
Think about what is missing for perfect love for you?
I wish you success in your search!
