332. The triangular theory of love

View descriptionShare

We all want to know the secret to true, lasting love so that we can perhaps have a shot at finding it. So in today's episode, we're breaking down perhaps the most famous theory on this very topic, Robert Sternbery's Triangular Theory of Love. In this episode, we talk about: 

  • The 3 core ingredients of love: intimacy, passion, commitment

  • How different combinations form different kinds of relationships

  • Why “consummate love” is so rare, and hard to maintain

  • What the theory leaves out: culture, trust, respect, asexuality, polyamory 

  • A look at the newer “quadruple theory” of love
