Attraction helps you make a good first impression.
But love is what determines whether a relationship survives.

In this video, we move beyond first impressions and decode the psychology of close relationships—friendship, long-term partnerships, and romantic love.

Social psychologists struggled for years to study love because:

You can’t randomly assign people to relationships

Intimacy and emotion are difficult to measure

Love changes over time

Yet research has revealed clear patterns.

This session explains:

Why love is not just “strong liking”

The difference between companionate love and passionate love

Why long-term relationships feel calm, safe, and deep

Why passionate love feels intense, exciting, and emotionally risky

We then explore one of the most influential models in relationship psychology:
Robert Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love.

According to this model, love is built from three components:

Intimacy (emotional closeness)

Passion (physical and emotional arousal)

Commitment (decision to stay over time)

Different combinations create different kinds of love—romantic love, companionate love, empty love, and more.

This video also draws on foundational work by:

Elaine Hatfield on passionate love

Ellen Berscheid on long-term bonding

This is not a dating video.
This is a relationship literacy lesson—useful for:

Students

Professionals

Leaders

Anyone building long-term human connections

👉 Watch till the end if you want to understand love without myths or movies.
