Three-part theory of love  Robert Stenberg formulated the three-part theory of love. According to this theory love is constructed out of three fundamental parts which are – intimisy, passion and commitment. Intimisy means the feeling of closeness and bound with a partner. Passion means ‘heat’ aspect of relationship – arousment caused by a partner in a sexual attraction. Commitment involves 2 choices – short-distance recognition that we love our partner and long-term resolution to be faithful. Those three parts connects with each other in different proportions creating different types of love. With the development of the relationship it can change into romantic love build out of passion and intimisy. It can even create perfect love with all three counterparts. Brotherly love is characterized by intimisy and commitment without passion. Erotic love is a desire of having another person compound with a physiologically stimulation; reciprocal makes a feeling of fulfillment and ecstasy; not reciprocal makes a feeling of sadness and desperation. There is also evolutionary interpretation of love. This theory has its origins in evolutionary biology and says that men and women find attractive the differences in the other sex. Men are driven by women’s look and women by men’s resources.This kind of view increases the chances for the reproduction.
