STENBERG
TRIANGULAR THEORY
OF LOVE
 Sternberg's triangular theory of love
was developed after the identification
of passionate love and companionate
love.

COMPONENT OF LOVE
There are three components
of love.
 Intimacy
 Passion
 Commitment

INTIMACY
 Intimacy involves feelings of
closeness, trust, and the sharing of
one’s innermost thoughts, which can
involve into a heightened level of trust
between two people.

PASSION
 Passion is the motivational
component of love and reflects
attraction, romance, and sexual
desire, which is driven by sexual
attraction.

COMMITMEN
T
 Commitment is the decision to
maintain a long-term caring
relationship, which is a conscious
effort to keep the love and
connection in a relationship going.

LIKING/FRIENDSHIP
 It refers to the set of feelings one experiences in relationships that can truly be
characterized as friendship. That is closeness, bondedness and warmth

INFATUATED LOVE:
 Romantic relationships often start out as infatuated love and become romantic love as
intimacy develops over time. Without developing intimacy or commitment, infatuated love
may disappear suddenly.

EMPTY LOVE:
 Empty love is characterized by commitment without intimacy or passion. A stronger love
may deteriorate into empty love.

ROMANTIC LOVE
 Romantic love "derives from a combination of the intimate and passionate components of
love.

COMPANIONATE LOVE:
 Companionate love is an intimate, non-passionate type of love that is stronger than
friendship because of the element of long-term commitment.

FATUOUS LOVE:
 Fatuous love can be exemplified by a whirlwind courtship and marriage.

CONSUMMATE LOVE:
 Consummate love is the complete form of love, representing an ideal relationship which
people strive towards.

CONCLUSION
 Love improves the quality of our lives.
 Love can’t be between two peoples.
 This theory is based on couples of same age.
 The complete form of love is consummate love.
