[Seven combinations of three elements of love] Three elements of love: intimacy, passion and commitment. Seven combinations: only one (three); Only two (three); There are all three.

This three elements of love and its seven combinations are very interesting, which conforms to the principle of neither weight nor leakage, and is a good summary of the components of love and its various possible combinations.

Intimacy: This is an important feature of a love relationship. According to the principle of Dunbar number, both parties in love must have entered their own circle of five close friends.

Passion: Another feature of love is the romantic passion.

Commitment: The third feature of love is that the parties have made a commitment to mutual loyalty, to be together for a long time, and to never abandon or leave.

However, the three elements of love are not indispensable, but include the following seven combinations:

Combination 1: Only intimacy, no passion and commitment. The two sides only established a close relationship, but it did not contain passionate love and loyal commitment. Example: past tense marriage relationship of divorced people.

Combination 2: only passion, no intimacy and commitment. There is only passion between them, but there is neither intimacy nor commitment to be together. Example: One-night stand.

Combination 3: Only commitment, no intimacy and passion. The two sides only have a lifelong commitment, but the relationship is neither intimate nor passionate. Example: traditional old-fashioned marriage.

Combination 4: Only intimacy and passion, no commitment. There is both intimacy and romantic passion between them, but there is no commitment to be together for life. For example, a marriage or partnership that breaks up when love disappears.

Combination 5: Only intimacy and commitment, no passion. The two men established a close relationship, but there was no passionate love. Example: Respect each other as guests, for example, the marriage relationship in Qi Mei.

Combination 6: Only passion and commitment, no intimacy. There is both passionate love and lifelong commitment between them, but there is no intimate relationship in reality. Example: soul mate.

Combination 7: Intimacy, passion and commitment. The two established a passionate and close relationship for life. Example: a perfect partnership.

I think what people want most must be combination seven. Unfortunately, most people’s relationships can only fall into combination four, combination five and combination six. What is even more regrettable is that some people can only have the relationship of combination one, combination two and combination three. From combination one to combination seven, happiness must be progressive. May all the people in the world get married, and may all the people in the world get a partnership with intimacy, passion and commitment. Work hard! Come on! To pursue a happy and perfect partnership.

Everyone who shares, likes and watches it really likes it.???
