connectedness, and bondedness.

sexual attraction.

remain with another, and in the long term, the shared achievements and
plans made with that other.

Liking – close bonds of friendship
Infatuated Love – passion without intimacy or commitment
Empty Love – like an arranged marriage
Romantic Love – two people are bonded intimately and passionately
