People sometimes make distinctions between loving
someone-like a family member, aunt, uncle, etc.

7. Caring, Intimacy,
and Commitment
Love includes caring or wanting to help the other person. Caring means
responding to the other person’s needs.
Intimacy emphasizes feelings of closeness. Couples experience intimacy when
they have shared history, an identity as a couple, emotional interest in each other,
and share hopes and dreams for the future (P.M. Brown, 1995).
Commitment is a person’s intention to remain in a relationship and work through
any problems. It doesn’t necessarily mean marriage but it may lead to marriage.
