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 😍
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.
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.

According to Robert Sternberg, a combination of intimacy and passion is called romantic love. This type of love involves feelings of closeness, connection, and emotional intimacy along with strong physical desire and attraction.
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.
Either break off your present commitment or stop thinking about the person you love.
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.
