Definition of true love
Biological models of sex tend to view love as a mammalian drive, just like hunger or thirst. Psychology depicts love as a cognitive and social phenomenon. Love has three different components: Intimacy, commitment and passion. Intimacy is a form by which two people can share secrets and various details of their personal lives. Intimacy is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs.
Commitment, on the other hand, is the expectation that the relationship will last forever. The last, and most common, form of love is sexual attraction and passion. passionate love is shown in infatuation and romantic love. This led researchers such as Yela to refine the model by separating passion into two independent components: erotic passion and romantic passion.
While romantic love rules in February, it is surely not the only form the emotion can take. Love is a feeling that starts with birth and continuously changes, transforms and transmutes through our lives. Love can be any of the following to name a few: Platonic love, religious love, familial love, true love, puppy love, self love.
