Types of love & health: types of love, romantic love. Intimacy and passion: attracted to each other physically, bonded emotionally, without any sustaining commitment for enduring relationship, more common in younger adults. Fatuous love: passion and commitment (without intimacy, usually does not last long, despite initial commitment of partners, companionate love. Ideal type of love, includes intimacy, passion, and commitment: complete love, people strive for it but few can achieve it, harder to maintain than to achieve it. Intimacy only: true friendship characterized by understanding, closeness, support, affection, and warmth without intense feeling of passion or a long-term commitment. Infatuation: passion only, love at first sight, strong physical attraction and sexual desire without intimacy or commitment. Infatuated love can appear suddenly and disappear just as fast: empty love, commitment, without intimacy and passion, sometimes in long term marital relationships, arranged marriages, or other situations in which marriage continues for some social or practical reason.
