Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love, love consists of three components: passion, intimacy, and commitment. The best predictor of satisfaction within a relationship is the match between the partners on all three components of love, indicating a well-rounded and balanced relationship. The match between partners' levels of passion alone (choice A) or intimacy relative to commitment (choice D) may not capture the full picture of satisfaction in a relationship. The number of reinforcements and punishments between partners (choice C) may be relevant to the satisfaction of the relationship, but it is not the best predictor.
