according to the triangular theory of love
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_theory_of_love
consummate love is the ultimate ideal of love, encompassing all three elements of love- passion, intimacy, and commitment. but when I looked consummate up, it was defined as many definitions, all of which focused primarily on sex. the ones that didn't focus on sex were defined as "complete" "perfection", etc. with the appropriate definition for the context stating "the act of having intercourse after marriage" In my opinion sex has nothing to do with love, with my argument being the love is possible without sex, and sex possible without love. Personally, I aim to have a loving relationship with sex at a minimum. the triangular theory of love is something I look to for insight, but could it be possible consummate was the wrong word to use? (I hope so).
