Explanationof concept #1
Theories oflove and affection explain love connection. When someone likes theother, the affection deals with respect and the interaction isenjoyable. On the other hand, when love is involved, it is to likesomeone in addition to attachment and deep level of caring.Triangular love theory has three major components that are intimacy,passion, and commitment(Silk, 2013).Intimacy is the foundation of all components and it is a warmemotional attachment. Passion involves hot physical and sexualattraction while commitment is a cool form of attraction based oncognition and decision making.
Acombination of these components composes types of love. When allcomponents are absent there is no love. On the other hand, when allare present there is consummative love. Passion alone createsinfatuation while commitment alone creates empty love(Segal, 2015).Romantic love involves passion and intimacy while friendship loveinvolves intimacy and commitment.
In any formof relationship, one would do a secret test to find out thecomponents of love involved in the relationship. It is done throughconsulting a third party, separation flirting as well as endurance.Styles of love determine the use of secret tests. According to Lee`slove styles, there are three primary love styles and three secondarylove styles. The primary love styles are Eros(physical), storge(friendship)and ludus(forfun)(Silk, 2013).
When thesestyles of love are randomly combined, they form secondary styles oflove. Eros and ludusform maniaErosand storgeform agapewhile storgeand ludusform pragma.Attachment theory claims that early attachment determines futureattachments. They can be secure, preoccupied, fearful or dismissive(Segal,2015).They are determined by individual regard for oneself as well asothers. The regard can be positive or negative.
Learningcomponents of a triangular theory of love helps one to understandvarious types of love relationships as well as distinguish theirboundaries with partners. That way one is able to live with otherswithout crossing love borders. Styles of love set these boundariesbetween partners or companions. Theory of attachment helps peopleunderstand other`s behavior pattern and make them predictable for thesake of future interactions.
