Have you ever felt that there is love between two people just by hearing their conversation or noticing their gestures? But have you ever realized that you are in love with someone? When you start paying more attention to someone than to yourself, when you think about them, when you want to see them, then you are in love with that person. Love is the experience of finding someone else as your own soul.
Since the beginning of humanity, love has existed, and people have been in love. The main theme of our literature and arts has been love. According to some theories of love, there are three components to love.
The first is closeness. It refers to the emotional and mental connection that two people feel for each other. Emotional attachment and mutual closeness are what intensify the bond of love. Even if the connection is felt by just one person, that too is considered love. However, love doesn’t always have to be openly expressed.
The second component is attachment. It refers to the physical attraction and behaviors that may even lead to sexual intimacy.
The third is commitment. This is the decision to love this person for the rest of your life and to live with them.
The strength and intensity of love, as well as its duration, depend on how powerful and deep these three components are. When these three elements come together, that is when love truly becomes love.
