According to Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love, love can be defined in triangle made up of intimacy, passion and Commitment.
The type of love made up of <em>intimacy and commitment is</em>:
Companionate love
It is characterized by the presence of both commitment and intimacy. This love is usually found in older relationships, such as long-term marriages, where the passion has died, but the couple still feels a deep emotional bond and commitment.
