Individual’s unique interpersonal relationship experiences can positively or negatively shape one’s viewpoint on the concept of love.

After completing the “Love Styles” questionnaire, I was very surprised about the results of my particular love style. However, I believe my love style will evolve after completing my education and prioritizing my time to a committed interpersonal relationship. My results for each individual love style from the questionnaire included: ludus (7), storge (6), eros (5), mania (5), agape (4), and pragma (5). The highest mean depicts the love style behaviors an individual displays when in interpersonal relationship. Ludus was the love style that I scored the highest mean in the “Love Styles” questionnaire. Common characteristics of ludus love style include playfulness, flirtatious, carefree, and casual (Welch, 2010). At this particular point in my life I could see various aspects of the ludus love style. I agree that I prefer my interpersonal relationships with more carefree and casual characteristics than serious with a strong commitment.

THE COURSE OF LOVE It is generally recognized that the course of love rarely runs smoothly. But it took two university professors to plot the course that love takes in the lives of actual young people. Professors Kirkpatrick and Caplow found that the most usual course of love is one starting with mutual indifference and moving upward through attraction to love, and then either dropping again to indifference, with the broken love affair, or remaining in love at a high level of mutual involvement. One out of every five love affairs studied is irregular in its course, with unpredictable shifts from love to hate to indifference to liking in various combinations throughout the history of the relationship.

In “Love 2.0,” Barbara Fredrickson introduces scientific analyses of the brain’s response to positive connections.

Fredrickson presents an ongoing juxtaposition from both ends of love and strongly states how love is “forever renewable” (108). In “Reading Lolita in Tehran,” Azar Nafisi illustrates her class meeting with her girls, who are driven to learn about the relation between fantasy and reality.

According to this theory, nature of love is changing fundamentally and it can create either opportunities for democracy or chaos in life (Beck & Beck- Gernsheim, 1995). Love, family and personal freedom are three key elements in this theory. This theory states that the guidelines, rules and traditions which used to rule personal relationships have changed. “Individuals are now confronted with an endless series of choices as part of constructing, adjusting, improving or dissolving the unions they form with others” (Giddens, 2006). For instance, marriage nowadays depends on the willingness of the couples rather than for economic purposes or the urge to form family.
