Which is the ideal type of relationship?
One framework for romantic relationships in psychology, known as Sternberg's triangular theory of love, identifies three main components of love: passion, intimacy, and commitment. Passion refers to feelings of excitement and attraction, intimacy refers to feelings of closeness and connection, and commitment refers to the ongoing decision to stay in and nurture the relationship. Depending on which of these three elements are present, a couple can find themselves in one of seven different types of relationships: 1. Infatuation: passion only 2. Friendship: intimacy only 3. Empty love: commitment only 4. Romantic love: passion + intimacy 5. Fatuous love: passion + commitment 6. Companionate love: intimacy + commitment 7. Consummate love: passion + intimacy + commitment There is of course the eight combination of non-love, in which none of the three are present. Which is the best type of relationship? |
 |
| The love between family is the best type of love imo. Sex based love is conditional on looks and wealth. |
 |
| imo consummate and companionate are tied in first place. Companionate is what very long marriages are. |
 Leading biologist Scott Pitnick said: The bigger your 'nads, the smaller your brains |
| i'm a hopeless romantic so i guess i will go with romantic love/consummate love |
 |
| I don't view myself as a get married/settle down and have kids type person. My favorite type of relationship is the "We hang out, have some fun and hang out, yet i have my space as well. But we also do 'naughty' things together." type of relationship. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. |
| A friendly relationship that becomes more intimate eventually. |
   You and the rose are connected. Know the weight of your own life |
| I love my wife, she loves me, and we be happy. Consummate is obviously "Ideal". Long lasting passions could fade even then, but if you are truly committed and intimate, that helps with the passion. |
| Friendship. Because anime taught that the real treasure in life are the friends we make in our journey. Love is just a chemical reaction gone wrong at 3 am |
 If you are a friend. Visit my profile to recommend me something to watch ( ^β½^)ψ__ |
| Intimacy is the most important one. Sexual drive/Passion like you called it, it's not important, but I can't help it sometimes I want it. It's human instict I guess. Commitment is also not that important. Intimacy >> Commitment > Passion |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| excitement and attraction (passion) + closeness and connection (intimacy) = romantic love is really really my type |
| Maybe somewhere between companionate and consummate. |
 |
| aslong it's straight then we're absolutely fine. otherwise a very normal relationship is the best, why would you waste your parents money for a fucking girl and you won't marry him |
 |
| Intimacy is great. Adding commitment to that is great, that's sort of what differentiates it from whether it's a long-term relationship or not. Passion can be there or not, I don't mind as long as it's not overboard and not creepy. |
