A mysterious streak of light makes many couples disappear. Some media say it was probably because those people are in true love. But what about those couples that were left? They start to question their relationships. 

In 1986, psychologist Robert Sternberg developed a theory that is called “The Triangular Theory of Love.” 

He said love is like a triangle that covers three elements: intimacy, passion, and commitment. 

The top vertex of the triangle is Intimacy. It refers to the feeling of attachment and closeness that can occur in relationship. 

The left-hand vertex of the triangle is Passion, which refers to the drives that lead to romance and physical attraction.

The right-hand vertex of the triangle is Commitment. 

Robert said this element is vital because in the long term, it is commitment that maintains the love.

1.喜欢式爱情(Liking)
The first type is Liking, which only includes intimacy. This type of love could also be friendship. A person will feel close to the other without intense passion or thoughts of commitment.

2.迷恋式爱情(Infatuated love)
The second type is infatuated love. It happens only when passion is present. It is normally “love at first sight” and is highly bounded by carnal desires and nothing else. 

3.空洞式爱情(Empty love)
The third type is empty love, which only has commitment but does not share intimacy and passion. For example, arranged marriages. 

4.浪漫式爱情(Romantic love)
The fourth type is romantic love. It is a combination of intimacy and passion. Partners are physically drawn to each other and also bonded emotionally. The only thing is, commitment is never discussed. 

5.伴侣式爱情(Companionate love)
This style is the combination of intimacy and commitment that sustain the relationship. An example would be a long-term marriage in which physical attraction has died down.

6.愚蠢式爱情(Fatuous love)
Fatuous love is the combination of passion and commitment, but without intimacy. Robert said that most of these relationships do not last a year. 

7.完美式爱情(Complete love)
And finally, the last type is complete love. Of course, it has all of the three elements: intimacy, passion, and commitment. It is the goal for most people in relationships.
