This is very obvious when Alicia agrees to let John stay at home and off of his meds even though his hallucinations had taken over his life (Howard, 2001). Passionate love is the love at the beginning of a relationships that establishes the relationships base and commits butterflies into people’s stomachs (Myers, 2011, p.683,684). Hatfield came up with a 2 factor theory of emotion. It states that the first factor was that people are attracted through physical arousal plus cognitive appraisal. The second factor of attraction was that arousal from any source can enhance one emotion or another depending on how we interpret and label it. So therefore people have two factors in establishing passionate love. This love only lasts a short while and does not last forever. There are aspects of this stage in a relationships that can last, but this stage itself will not. Passionate love also offers an increase of adrenaline in a person when around the one they are attracted to which then leads to passion. Companionate love follows passionate love in a relationship. Companionate love is when two people can be completely themselves around the other and doesn’t have to worry about impressing each other. This is one way that shows a deep affectionate attachment, because two people are bonded in such a way that they care deeply for each other and not just on the main level. In companionate love there is equity. Equity is where people share the effort they put into the relationship. When one needs more emotional support the other gives it and vice versa. The relationship is balanced and the same amount of effort is put in from both parties. Self disclosure is when people are open with one another and disclose themselves to the other person. This allows trust and dependance to build up,
