The following narrative will explain the pros and cons of Sternberg’s Eight Kinds of Love.

​

The pros of nonlove are perfect for someone who is not wanting a serious relationship and just wants to be acquaintances. The cons of nonlove are experienced when one person feels differently and wants more, but can never experience a serious relationship. The pros of liking are having a strong, reliable, and trustable friendship with someone. The cons of liking are being less likely to build upon their foundation to becoming more. The pros of infatuation are having a fun time with feeling in love, without commitment. The cons of infatuation are never experiencing actual love and not experiencing the feeling of care. The pros of empty love are always knowing your partner is there to care for you. The cons of empty love is never feeling “in love’ and possibly gaining insecurities. The pros of romantic love is that it is usually a start of a relationship, but a pro can also be having the feeling of being able to walk away if you do not want more. Cons of romantic love are not experiencing relationship security and being unable to identify the partner’s feelings. The pros of companionate love are having the feeling of commitment/security and knowing that your marriage is strong in most cases. A con of companionate love is often feeling like you have settled. A pro of fatuous love is having a strong connection with the partner. A con of fatuous love is not having the intimacy needed to get through life struggles together. Pros of consummate love are feeling full love at all time and every aspect of life is enjoyable with the partner. A con of consummate love might be that the other partner is not ready for that full type of love.
