According to Robert Sternberg's research, "Love" is an emotion consisting of three components: intimacy, passion & committment.
Intimacy, the feeling close and connected to someone (developed through sharing and very good communications over time). Intimacy is what makes you want to share and offer emotional and material support to each other.
-Intimacy alone is Liking (true friendship without passion or long-term commitment)
Passion, the feeling physically aroused and attracted to someone. Passion is what makes you feel "in love" and is the feeling most associated with love. It also rises quickly and strongly influences and biases your judgment.
-Passion alone is Infatuation (passionate, obsessive love at first sight without intimacy or commitment)
Commitment, pledging to your self and each other to strengthen the feelings of love and to actively maintain the relationship. Commitment is what makes you want to be serious, have a serious relationship and promise to be there for the other person if things get tough.
-Commitment alone is Empty Love (decision to love another without intimacy or passion)
Romantic Love: Intimacy & Passion, no Commitment
-Lovers physically and emotionally attracted to each other but without commitment
-“As in a summer romance”
Companionate Love: Intimacy & Commitment, but no Passion
-Long-term committed friendships or a marriage in which the passion has faded
-I love you but I’m not IN love with you
Fatuous Love: Passion & Commitment, but no Intimacy
-Commitment based on passion with without time for intimacy to develop
-Shallow relationship such as a whirlwind courtship
Consummate Love: A complete love consisting of all three components

A hormonal reaction to the presence of a fellow being with whom you are driven to mate. It lasts a few years, to be replaced by calmer, but less mind-bending emotions.
Love is fun. Love is groovy. Love's a wild Felini movie.

love is the very reason we live. it is expressed in many ways but mainly two ways.i.e conditional love and uncoditional love.
conditional love is what we show to most people that we care for but the moment they do something we don't like we stop loving them..... sometimes we even hate them.
the ideal love is unconditional love and with this we love peaple with all our hearts regards of what the are or what they do. this is the kind of love peaple have for their children. with this kind of love you can separate from a spouse becouse she is cheating but not hurbour any resentement or hate.
what we need to realize is in whatever we do we express love and peaple show their love to us. once we fully learn this we become better human beings

Love is not love which alters when it finds alterations. It is an ever fixed mark and is never shaken even by the heights of crises.
