Affectionate love is characterized by intimacy and commitment but lacking in passion. This is often found in long-term relationships, such as marriage, where the initial spark and intense passion may have faded over time. Consummate love, on the other hand, is characterized by all three components of intimacy, commitment, and passion. Romantic love combines passion and intimacy but may not necessarily involve a strong commitment. Fatuous love is characterized by passion and commitment but lacking in true intimacy or emotional connection.
