Using Sternberg's triangular theory of love, describe two relationships in your life (e.g., your parents' or your current love relationship) and how these relationships fit into one or more of Sternberg's forms of love.
What will be an ideal response?
Sternberg proposed that love consists of three primary components: passion, intimacy, and commitment. He proposed that each of these may fit on one of the three points of a triangle, and that the relative levels of these components dictate the type of love in the relationship. Passion refers to feelings of romance, sexual attraction, and desire. Intimacy involves feelings of emotional closeness and connection. Commitment occurs with a person who has made a decision to be in a loving relationship with another person. These components combine in various ways to create seven possible kinds of love: liking, romantic love, companionate love, infatuation, fatuous love, empty love, and complete love. Students will continue to examine two relationships in their life and which of the seven kinds of love those relationships fulfill.
