In the context of interpersonal relationships, "the three components of love, according to the triangular theory, are an intimacy component, a passion component, and a decision/commitment component. "[1] "The amount of love one experiences depends on the absolute strength of these three components, and the type of love one experiences depends on their strengths relative to each other.

Western society rewards specialization, the examination of a piece of the whole. This fragmented approach has lead us to look at health in a compartmentalized manner rather than as the management of a totality. We separate our spiritual lives into a separate box or a specific time for worship or prayer.
