Theory of Love

By IntroBooks Team

There are hundreds of words if not thousands which have
been associated with 'love' and yet there is not a proper
definition that can be formed. A dictionary could definitely finish
describing it in a couple of lines but love is something which
can have a book written on it and yet it may miss some
points. Love can be said to be a diversity of states, attitudes
and most importantly feeling which could be anything from
affection to desire. It is an emotion which can be referred to
as attraction and attachment to someone. It could take the
form of a virtue such as being kind and generous. It could be
affection for animals or humans. There could be hundreds of
well-suited adjectives which have different meanings but refer to
one word – love. The psychologists and sociologist have tried
to build a theory around love. They have tried to explain
everything about love. There are several theories which
renowned people have formed. This eBook aims in explaining
some of such theories which are accepted throughout the
globe.

Introduction

Why do you think people fall in love? Why is it that certain forms of love are short-lived while the others endure for life? There are many theories that have been proposed by researchers, sociologists and psychologists who have tried to explain why and how love forms and sustains.
