Describe Sternberg's passion, intimacy, and commitment components of love. How do these components typically change during the lifetime of a relationship?
What will be an ideal response?
Passion is the intense physiological desire felt in love. Intimacy is the degree of sharing of one's thoughts and actions. Commitment is the willingness for a couple to stay together. Early in most relationships, passion is high and the other elements are lower. As passion fades, it is hopefully replaced with intimacy. As time goes on, there tends to be an increased sense of commitment.
