intimacy, commitment, and passion.
Sternberg's theory of love includes three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment. These components can combine to form different types of love, such as romantic love (intimacy + passion), companionate love (intimacy + commitment), and consummate love (including all three components).
Intimacy, commitment, and passion 😍
Sternberg suggests that there are three kinds of loving, passion, intimacy and commitment. Passion involves powerful feelings that become obvious in romance, physical attraction, and strong desire to become sexually involved. Intimacy is less "intense" and is reflected in the desire to feel close and conected and to form a meaningful bond. "Commitment" is associated with a time scale. On the one hand it involvesa purposeful decision to love another in the present, but it also entails a strong desire to maintain that love over a long period of time.
There is a difference between making love and having sex. When a man wants to make love, he wants to connect with you and is not out to just please himself. It is not about the act itself, but is about intimacy.

Reach love and sexual intimacy
Love can be defined as a complex set of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs associated with affection, attachment, and care towards oneself, others, or an object. It involves a deep sense of commitment, attraction, and emotional connection.
The secret of true love? In a word, it's sex. I suppose sex would play a part in the formula for true love as it unites the couple in their intimacy. However, true love is a two-sided affair that involves trust, faith, commitment, and will power. Both parties should be able to trust each other, and to have faith that the other will not stray or cheat. Both parties need to be commited to each other and have the will power not to "fall into temptation" when opportunities arise. I believe the entities of love are trust, faith, commitment, and will power. If either of these entities is breached, love will surely die.
Either break off your present commitment or stop thinking about the person you love.
Generally a fear of intimacy, can run alongside a commitment phobia, it is a fear of getting involved and/or too intimate and yet it is a massive contradiction, because the person actually craves intimacy, love, security affection. The fear of rejection is so great that it causes the person to reject a relationship, sometimes from the word go. These kind of fears are generally inherent in people that have suffered a traumatic childhood, Child abuse, loss of parents, lack of parental love etc. Do not underestimate this phobia, it is completely debilitating to the sufferer. To fear what one wants most, is probably one of the cruelest phobia's that exist.
