am doing revision for the Psychology paper tomorrow.
am revising for the part of LOVE now. hehe.


Just a little bit information about LOVE to share today because I found it very interesting. and I can sambil having my revision too! hehe.


Okay, first of all, there are 3 main components in LOVE. They are known as intimacy, passion and commitment.


INTIMACY refers to a couple's closeness, to their mutual concern and sharing of feelings and resources.
PASSION refers to romance and sexual feelings.
COMMITMENT means deciding to enhance and maintain the relationship.


Okay now. These 3 very important components give rise to 7 types of LOVE.


LIKING - Comprised of intimacy alone. It is true friendship without passion and long-term commitment.


EMPTY LOVE - Comprised of commitment alone. Empty love is only the commitment to remain together without passion or intimacy.


INFATUATION LOVE - Comprised of passion alone. It is passionate, obsessive love at first sight without intimacy or commitment.


COMPANIONATE LOVE - The combination of intimacy and commitment. It is a long-term committed friendship such as a marriage in which the passion has faded.

FATUOUS LOVE - The combination of commitment and passion. It is commitment based on passion but without time for intimacy to develop. For example, whirlwind relationship.

ROMANTIC LOVE - The combination of intimacy and passion. The lovers physically and emotionally attracted to each other but without commitment, as in a summer romance.

and lastly,


CONSUMMATE LOVE - The ideal form of love combining intimacy, passion and commitment.

What kind of LOVE are you looking for then?
Tell me :D

turning into: two is better than one
