Question: Which of the following is TRUE regarding Sternberg's triangular theory of love? All relationships start out at one point, and gradually move around the triangle. Ludus encompasses feelings of physical attraction, romance, and sexual arousal, and is the most intense. The three points represent different methods of mate selection around the world. Various combinations of the three elements breed different kinds of love. This theory best explains arranged marriages, as in the case of Rati and Subas in the opening vignette.
