Document Summary
Fmst 101 chapter 6: romance, love, and loving relationships. Love at first sight: only one true love. Symptoms of romantic love include: drastic mood swings, heart palpitations. Intrusive thoughts about the partner: realistic love, also known as conjugal love. Less emotional, passionate, and exciting than romantic love. Physical attraction and sexual consummation: decision & commitment, cognitive assessment of love. A new friendship or association with a co-worker: infatuation. Two persons flirting with each other in a bar may be infatuated with each other: romantic love. Love at first sight reflects this type of love: companionate/conjugal love. A couple who have been married for fifty years are said to have a companionate love: fatuous love. A couple who are passionately about each other and talk of the future but do not have an intimate connection with each other: empty love. A couple who stay together for social and legal reasons but who have no spark or sharing between them: consumate love.
