Certainly! Here are the correct triangular theory of love terms for each marriage scenario:
1. The first marriage scenario where the couple has great sex, are best friends, and are firmly committed corresponds to the term "Consummate Love." Consummate love involves the combination of intimacy, passion, and commitment, which are all present in this scenario. The couple in this marriage has a deep emotional connection, strong physical attraction, and a long-term commitment to each other.
2. The second marriage scenario where the couple are best friends, happily married, but no longer sexual aligns with the term "Companionate Love." Companionate love focuses on the elements of intimacy and commitment without the intense passion component. This term describes a relationship where emotional intimacy and commitment are strong, but the physical aspect of the relationship has diminished.
3. The third marriage scenario where the couple stays together out of habit but lacks emotional connection is best described by the term "Empty Love." Empty love is characterized by commitment without intimacy or passion. In this scenario, the couple may continue the relationship out of routine or obligation, but the emotional bond and passion are missing.
These terms from the triangular theory of love provide a framework for understanding different aspects of romantic relationships based on the presence or absence of intimacy, passion, and commitment.
