    Sternberg's model of love consists of three components - intimacy, passion, and decision/commitment. Hatfield describes two types of romantic love: passionate love, which involves intense feelings and sexual attraction, and compassionate love, which involves mutual respect, trust, affection, and is the form most long-term relationships develop into after the initial passionate stage subsides within 1-2 years. The key components that differentiate passionate and compassionate love are the levels of commitment, intimacy, and passion present.

    INTERPERSONAL ATTRACTION

    WHAT IS LOVE?
    STERNBERG’S MODEL OF LOVE
    STERNBERG’S MODEL OF LOVE
    • The triangle is used as a metaphor, rather than as a strict geometric model.
    • These three components are intimacy, passion, and decision/commitment. Each component manifests a
    different aspect of love.
    • Intimacy. Intimacy refers to feelings of closeness, connectedness, and bondedness in loving
    relationships. It thus includes within its purview those feelings that give rise, essentially, to the
    experience of warmth in a loving relationship.
    • Passion. Passion refers to the drives that lead to romance, physical attraction, sexual consummation, and
    related phenomena in loving relationships. The passion component includes within its purview those
    sources of motivational and other forms of arousal that lead to the experience of passion in a loving
    relationship.
    • Decision/commitment. Decision/commitment refers, in the short-term, to the decision that one loves a
    certain other, and in the long-term, to one's commitment to maintain that love. These two aspects of the
    decision/commitment component do not necessarily go together, in that one can decide to love someone
    without being committed to the love in the long-term, or one can be committed to a relationship without
    acknowledging that one loves the other person in the relationship.
    TYPES OF LOVE
    As anyone who has ever lived and loved can confirm, not all types of love are
    the same. The love you feel for your partner during the early stages of a
    romance can feel much different than the love you may feel years later into
    the relationship. Psychologist Elaine Hatfield has described two different
    types of romantic love: Compassionate(also known as companionate) and
    passionate. Compassionate love involves feelings of mutual respect, trust, and
    affection while passionate love involves intense feelings and sexual
    attraction.
    PASSIONATE LOVE
    Passionate love is emotional, exciting, intense.
    Hatfield (1988) defined it as a “state of intense longing for union with another”
    If reciprocated, one feels fulfilled and joyous, if not one feels empty or despairing.

    COMPANIONATE (COMPASSIONATE LOVE)

    • COMPASSIONATE LOVE, ALSO CALLED COMPANIONATE LOVE, IS ABOUT INTIMACY, TRUST,


    COMMITMENT, AND AFFECTION. IN A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP, PASSIONATE LOVE TYPICALLY
    SIMMERS DOWN TO COMPASSIONATE LOVE WITHIN ONE TO TWO YEARS.
    • PEOPLE WHO ARE IN COMPASSIONATE LOVE STILL FEEL PASSIONATE ABOUT ONE ANOTHER,
    BUT THE INTENSITY TYPICALLY FEELS LESS OVERWHELMING AND URGENT. THIS TYPE OF LOVE
    INVOLVES CARING DEEPLY FOR THE OTHER PERSON, TRULY KNOWING THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL,
    AND IS COMMITTED TO THE OTHER PERSON THROUGH BOTH GOOD TIMES AND BAD. EVEN
    WHEN DISAGREEMENTS TAKE PLACE, PEOPLE WHO SHARE COMPASSIONATE LOVE REMAIN IN
    LOVE AND DEDICATED TO ONE ANOTHER.
    KEY COMPONENTS OF COMPASSIONATE LOVE

    • LONG TERM COMMITMENT


    • DEEP INTIMACY
    • TRUST

    COMPASSIONATE LOVE

    • ATTACHMENT STYLE
