Three Brain Systems of Love or Stages of
Falling in Love
Lust refers to an urge or desire that motivates us to
partake in sexual activity.

Attraction is described as the love-struck phase. This is


the stage when a person loses sleep and appetite over
someone and become excited to someone while
daydreaming of special person. It is part of lust because it
involves focusing our attention to a particular person or
desire. Many factors influence attraction.
Factors of Attraction
1. Physical Attractiveness
Is one of the primary determinants of romantic attraction.
2.Proximity
People tend to get attracted to people who are geographically closer to
them.
3. Similarity
People tend to pick partners who are similar to themselves.
4. Reciprocity
People tend to like others who reciprocate their liking.
Attachment is a deep and enduring emotional
bond that connects one person to another
across time and space. It is when long-lasting
commitments are exchanged.
Love is a choice. You express your love for
another person not because you are forced to do
so but because you have decided to share
yourself with another person. Love also involves
trust and commitment.
The three components can be defined as follows:
Intimacy = involve liking, feeling of closeness connectedness, and bonding
resulting from genuinely knowing the other person

Passion = feelings of romance, physical attraction and sexual


consummation in the relationship.

Commitment = shared investments, or the “history” of the relationship


such as decisions and adjustments
Ancient Greeks studied
love and denote each
type by giving each one
a Greek name. Lee (1973)

COMMITMENT
Being committed in a relationship is to make a promise, pledge and
a decision to stay together despite the twists and turns encountered
in the relationship.
According to Goddard , there are three dimensions of
commitment in intimate relationships.
1. Commitment as an attraction or the “want to” aspect.
The relationship makes the person happy and satisfied . A person
becomes committed to someone because of what he/she gets from
the relationship.
2. Commitment as a moral obligation or the “ought to” aspect
3. Commitment as a constraint or the” have to “ aspect.
