The Top 3 Reasons We Fall in Love
from web site
Hani Henry, associate professor of psychology at AUC's Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology and Egyptology, says that Robert Sternberg’s psychological theory addresses the most common reasons we fall in love, which are: passion, intimacy, and commitment.
Intimacy
Falling in love for intimate reasons can be described as having a basic friendship; it lacks commitment and passion. Henry explained that intimacy isn't just about developing a close bond with someone. "Sometimes it's self-serving. Everyone wants to be loved and cared for. Women desire to feel their femininity and men desire to feel their masculinity.
Intimacy is captured perfectly in Adele's Hello song. Adele contacts her ex boyfriend and reveals her feelings of heartbreak about the relationship in the song's chorus. She says that she hasn’t been able to heal herself after so many years. He said that her lyrics were magical and could be used by anyone who wants to feel a connection with someone or have a long-term relationship.
Passion
The normal thing to do is fall in love due to strong feelings or desire. Passionate love develops from feelings that lead to sexual attraction and romantic interest. Henry stated, "When someone you like is attracted to you by something that draws them to that person." Henry explained that physical attraction can be described as a fascination with hair, eyes, and the body.
In the absence of intimacy and commitment, infatuation is developed with the person you love. "People become captivated and develop lust. Some people view a person as an object and become obsessed. He said that you can live with someone for many years without feeling any commonality.
Commitment
Total love comes from commitment. "People who want commitment are seeking stability and a healthy partnership," he stated. "People who are only looking for commitment might lack basic friendship interests and sexual attraction."
Henry stated that today's young adults are more concerned about objects than they are about relationships. He said, "The objectification of culture comes from consumerism." "The more consumerism a culture becomes the more people lose interest and commitments. Some youth are more focused on impressing people than they care about. Everything must be consumed, even relationships with other people.
Love Outside of the Triangular Theory
Sternberg's love theory can be understood by anyone. But we all have our own reasons for falling madly in love. Your reason for falling madly in love does not necessarily have to be explained by science. hindi status stated that some personal needs could include the fear of being alone or social peer pressure, fulfillment, or religious values.
No matter what psychology says about love, our choice of type of love defines who we are. We have our own way of understanding what makes us happy and fulfills our human needs. "Some people are caught with a need that meets each dimension of the triangle and they can't give up on two because of the different needs they get. Love is complex.
