According to Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love, companionate love is a type of love that combines intimacy and commitment, but lacks passion. This type of love is often found in close and long-term relationships, such as friendships and familial relationships. Romantic love, on the other hand, combines all three components of the theory (intimacy, passion, and commitment), while fatuous love only combines passion and commitment, without intimacy. Consummate love is the ideal type of love where all three components are present in the relationship.
