Triangulating love explains the different dynamics of a love relationship we as humans may find ourselves in. The overview that Sternberg provided showed that live is comprised of three components: intimacy, decision/commitment, and passion. I agree with his statement that decisions precedes commitments. Many times I've witnessed myself during experiences with friends and acquaintances that they've committed themselves to other people without even being aware of what is occurring. As Sternberg stated, they may not necessarily admit that they live our are in love with that person.
He goes on to classify love into different categories, with my favorite being the fatuous love! For the life of me, I cannot fathom how two individuals can meet, like, love, then marry without even considering the thoughts of potentially living with the "I shoulda, coulda, woulda disorder". This disorder involves individuals living with regrets because they didn't think about the future. It happens all the time from celebrities, to your neighbors up the street.
Sternberg's other categories were empty love, infatuation, consummate, companionate, romantic, and liking. Empty love is striking because you have couples who marriages have crumbled, but they still stay together either for the kids or religious beliefs. The author described it as losing the mutual emotional involvement and physical attraction that once characterized them. Its kind of sad, when you witness it first hand.
My two favorite are romantic and companionate. I find mushy times to be cute and intimate, and who wouldn't want to marry or be in love with someone who was and still is your friend first.
