LOVE is a three-part recipe.

August 22, 2022

Mankind is in a constant search for the FORMULAS of love. There are many variations on this theme. I am sharing another formula, which I like so much for its brevity. The triangular theory of love is a theory of love developed by psychologist Robert Sternberg. In the context of personal relationships, "the three components of love, according to the triangular theory, are intimacy, passion and commitment." 1. Intimacy - which includes feelings of belonging, unity, connectedness. 2. Passion - which includes both romantic attraction and sexual attraction. 3. Commitment - which involves, in the short term, a decision to stay with a partner, and in the long term, joint achievements or plans for the future. And happy is the one with a complete set of these qualities in his/her relationship.
