What is love? Psychologists and scientists have been trying to answer this question for years. In 1980, American psychologist Robert Sternberg developed a theory of 3 components of love that includes: Intimacy, passion and engagement. According to him, these are the 3 points that make the most beautiful feeling and this is the greatest inspiration for people who are then shown in songs or movies.
But to stay in the theories of love, Sternberg has singled out 7 types of love and the Bright Side in an article tells us what they are. According to Sternberg, feelings change with time. If you have already spent these 7 types of love with your partner then you need more time. However, first you learn what you are and then reflect on your relationship:
passion
In the beginnings of a couple's recognition there is almost always passion, or rather there is a physical attraction and great interest for the partner or partner. In such a relationship, the couple probably do not need one another, but stick together just because of the passion. People think that over time, this passion turns into love, but it does not always happen that way. This kind of love does not all experience it.
consent
In this kind of relationship, you can always be yourself. This kind of love is usually tied by the same interest and the feeling that these two people are well-versed with one another. Psychologists believe that such a relationship without passion and serious commitment is more like a friendship than a love with all components.
Empty love
This kind of love has only a commitment or a promise between a couple, but lacks intimacy and passion. However, this can change over time and love is added together with passion.
Bad love
This kind of love involves engagement and passion and many couples experience this kind of love. "Bad" love is when two people withdraw from each other and are ready to pursue some traditions together as marriage, promises, but they do not really have intimacy.
Romantic love
This kind of love involves passion and intimacy. The couple feels comfortable with each other, but are not ready to bring their relationship to another stage. So they are afraid of serious engagement. Such relationships rarely end up in marriage.
Love Society
Love society is made up of dedication and intimacy. Such relationships are more than a common friendship rather than a true bond between partners. In this kind of love there is no passion.
Love full
This kind of love has all three elements: passion, intimacy and commitment. Of course, their levels are not always equal, but it is important that your love is complete. Couples who have the three components live together together and happy. This kind of love does not happen to everyone.
