Based on Robert Sternberg's triangular theory of love, the perfect relationship should consist of three aspects, namely intimacy, passion and commitment. However, the many combinations of these psychological aspects of love create eight distinct permutations that span almost every relationship. (Hill, 2012) The love between Yuanhao and Jinghui is classified as consummate love based on the theory where all three aspects of the love triangle theory exist. Consummate love is the perfect form of love, representing an ideal relationship for people to aspire to. Among the seven varieties of love, consummate love is theoretically that associated with the “perfect couple”. According to Robert Sternberg's theory (Sternberg, 1986), these couples will continue to have good sex fifteen years or more after the start of their relationship; they cannot imagine themselves being happier in the long term with someone other, they overcome their few difficulties with grace and each enjoy their relationship with each other. (Hill, 2012) However, Sternberg warns that maintaining consummate love can be even more difficult than achieving it. (Sternberg, 1986) He emphasizes the importance of translating the components of love into action. “Without expression,” he warns, “even the greatest love can die.” » So, consummate love may not be permanent. If passion is lost over time, it can turn into companionate love where the love between couples will become that of an intimate, non-passionate type of love which is stronger than friendship due to the element of long-term commitment. (Hill, 2012) Yuanhao and Jinghui want a lasting relationship and are willing to make a long-term commitment to each other whereby they are willing to be there in difficult times...... middle paper ...... take in life will soon have "holes". These “holes” will increase proportionally to the age of our parents. We all know that someone special will cross our path in life. Someone who will become our “safety net” until the very day we die. We, too, will become the “safety net” of that special person. However, few of us realize that the “safety net” is much more than that. Besides security and support, there is more to relationships than meets the eye. Relationships teach us how to love ourselves before we love anyone else. Only by learning to cherish, love and feel special can you then love someone. Entering a relationship with someone in reality is not about receiving love or a loving “safety net” that takes away loneliness but rather about sharing love that makes us feel secure and supported.
