THE THREE COMPONENTS OF RELATIONSHIPS
INTIMACY The first component, is being close to
someone and sharing personal things with them.
PASSION
The second component, is strong emotional feelings that move you to express them physically, verbally, etc.
COMMITMENT The third component, is pledging yourself to
another, promising to be true and faithful.
FYI’S These three components are not necessarily
levels and nor do they have a particular order to them. Some relationships contain all three components; others may just have one or two.
They are intermingled and grow together, with each component contributing to the growth of other components.
