AnnotationWhile research on interpersonal love is growing, there is a relative dearth of literature on the experience of love across age. This study uses Sternberg's triangular theory of love to investigate how commitment, intimacy, and passion are subjectively experienced among actual lovers across age. The evidence presented suggests that lovers' definition and communication of commitment, affection, and togetherness, significantly declined over age, unrelated to length of relationship.
