Question

Write a 350- to 700-word response summarizing the three dimensions of love and how they interrelate to identify a specific type of love relationship.

I have the fist part done but I am not really sure how to go about writing how they interrelate to identify a specific type of love relationship. Some help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Different type of love relationships include:

child for parent
parent for child
platonic love between those of the same sex
sexual love
love of family
love of country/church/religion
love of mankind (<i>agape</i>)

Take the three dimensions of love and apply them to one of the above types of love.

Answer 2

I know the different types of love relationships but how do the dimensions interrelate to IDENTIFY a specific type of love relationship. Sorry, I am confused.

Answer 3

What are the three dimensions of love?

If you list them and give a brief description of each, I'll try to help you figure out how they interrelate to identify a specific type of relationship.

Answer 4

*Passion reflects attraction, romance, sexual desire, and is the motivational component of love.

*Intimacy, the second dimension in Sternberg’s theory, is feeling completely comfortable being yourself around your partner and trusting your partner enough to reveal inner most secrets.

*Commitment: the decision to maintain a long-term caring relationship.

Answer 5

Let's take a mother-child relationship.

The first step is intimacy as the child grows within the mother. Next comes the decision for a long-term caring relationship. Finally, the mother becomes convinced that her child is the most attractive and spurs her to greater love.

Answer 6

You seem to be talking about Sternberg's triangular theory of love.
