Consummate Love
- Defined as the ideal love, combining intimacy, passion, and commitment.
- Represents a complete and fulfilling relationship.
Romantic Love
- Composed of intimacy and passion.

- Comprised of intimacy and commitment.
- Represents a long-term bond, such as marriage, where initial passion may have diminished over time.
