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
