Psychological views

In an attempt to explain the commonalities and differences of the many types of love, Robert Sternberg has suggested a view of love involving three elements: intimacy, passion and commitment. Different stages and types of love can be explained as different combinations of the three elements. The combinations are as follows.

* Liking (Friendship) - intimacy * Infatuation (Love at first sight) - passion * Empty love (Charity) - commitment * Romantic love - passion + intimacy * Companionate love - commitment + intimacy * Fatuous love (Whirlwind romance) - commitment + passion * Consummate love - commitment + passion + intimacy
