The main components of a love relationship are intimacy, passion and commitment. Together they form a love triangle.

1.Intimacy: connection, trust, caring, respect, sharing, compassion.

2. Passion: a strong need to be with a person, possessiveness, the inability to imagine your life without your partner.

3. Commitment: the decision to be with a person always, despite all possible problems.

Each component of love manifests itself at different times. In childhood, we experience intimacy - we make our first friends with whom we share our secrets. The feeling of passion covers in adolescence. During the period of our first loves, we lose our heads and completely dissolve in the object of our desires. Obligations overtake us in adulthood.

In a relationship, the components of love can be represented equally, or one component can dominate - the triangle can be balanced or unbalanced.
