ii. Romantic Love in Psychology

How can we know if the person really loves us? Sometimes we based love through the actions and words of the person who loves us, how they will going to treat us, how they will going to make us happy, if the words that they say is really true or just lies. And all that things are involve in the field of Psychology. And so I did some research about Romantic Love in Connection to Psychology.

According to the article of Kendra Cherry Theories of Love on the site About.com its says that Zick Rubin proposed the 3 elements of Romantic Love : Attachment - you need to receive a care from someone and it is also your physical or personal contact with them for example how often both of you seen each other or go out for a date or bonding. Caring - its is how you value someone through your own style and also this how you make a person happy or will you going to entertain them. And last is Intimacy this is your desire, feelings for others and sharing of thoughts. For me intimacy can also called as Communication because you can't share your thoughts with other without communicating to them and this is very important Element when it comes to an relationship.

Mostly in Romantic Love it involves a a mix of emotion and sexual desire, that was oppose of the Platonic Love that is a Non-Sexual and strong type of love. A returned Romantic Love that has a mutual expression can lead to a permanent relationship that also called as a marriage.

And now that we know what is the attitudes that involves in Romantic Love maybe we could make some changes so that we will not going to have a problem with our partner and if possible how we will going to face that problems and to have a long last Romantic Love Relationship.
