L.O.V.E

This is something i copied from Wiki, but seems to be quite true and useful la.. and it's about wat? yea again...
The theory characterizes love within the context of interpersonal relationships by three different components:

  • Intimacy Which encompasses feelings of closeness, connectedness, and bondedness.
  • Passion Which encompasses drives that lead to romance, physical attraction, and sexual consummation.
  • Commitment Which encompasses, in the short term, the decision to remain with another, and in the long term, the shared achievements and plans made with that other.
  • .
    The “amount” of love one experiences depends on the absolute strength of these three components; the “type” of love one experiences depends on their strengths relative to each other. Different stages and types of love can be explained as different combinations of these three elements; for example, the relative emphasis of each component changes over time as an adult romantic relationship develops. A relationship based on a single element is less likely to survive than one based on two or more.
  1. Nonlove is the absence of all three of Sternberg's components of love.
    Liking/friendship in this case is not used in a trivial sense. Sternberg says that this intimate liking characterizes true friendships, in which a person feels a bondedness, a warmth, and a closeness with another but not intense passion or long-term commitment.
  2. Infatuated love is pure passion. Romantic relationships often start out as infatuated love and become romantic love as intimacy develops over time. However, without developing intimacy or commitment, infatuated love may disappear suddenly.
  3. Empty love is characterized by commitment without intimacy or passion. Sometimes, a stronger love deteriorates into empty love. In cultures in which arranged marriages are common, relationships often begin as empty love and develop into one of the other forms with the passing of time.[citation needed]
  4. Romantic love bonds individuals emotionally through intimacy and physically through passionate arousal.
  5. Companionate love is an intimate, non-passionate type of love that is stronger than friendship because of the element of long-term commitment. Sexual or physical desire is not an element of companionate love. This type of love is often found in marriages in which the passion has gone out of the relationship but a deep affection and commitment remain. The love ideally shared between family members is a form of companionate love, as is the love between close friends who have a platonic but strong friendship.
  6. Fatuous love can be exemplified by a whirlwind courtship and marriage in which a commitment is motivated largely by passion without the stabilizing influence of intimacy.
  7. Consummate love is the complete form of love, representing an ideal relationship toward which people strive. Of the seven varieties of love, consummate love is theorized to be that love associated with the “perfect couple”. According to Sternberg, such couples will continue to have great sex fifteen years or more into the relationship, they can not imagine themselves happy over the long term with anyone else, they weather their few storms gracefully, and each delight in the relationship with one other.[1] However, Sternberg cautions that maintaining a consummate love may be even harder than achieving it. He stresses the importance of translating the components of love into action. "Without expression," he warns, "even the greatest of loves can die" (1987, p.341). Thus, consummate love may not be permanent. If passion is lost over time, it may change into companionate love.

NEwton's Law Of lOVE! woohoo.

Universal law:
“Love can neither be created nor be destroyed; only it can transfer fromOne girlfriend to another girlfriend with some loss of money ”

First law:
” A boy in love with a girl, continue to be in love with her and a girlin love with a boy, continue to be in love with him, until or unlessany external agent(brother or father of the gal) comes into play andbreak the legs of the boy. ”

Second law:
” The rate of change of intensity of love of a girl towards a boy isdirectly proportional to the instantaneous bank balance of the boy andthe direction of this love is same to as increment or decrement of thebank balance. ”

Third law:
” The force applied while proposing a girl by a boy is equal and oppositeto the force applied by the girl while slapping.”

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger..?
Thumb represents your Parents ..Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings …Middle finger represents your-Self …Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner …& the Last (Little) finger represents your children …..
