	LOVE TYPES AND SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING: A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY Social Behavior and Personality - Find Articles
		It was found that two love types are related to subjective well-being in a different way: life satisfaction was more strongly predicted by companionate love than by passionate love, whereas positive and negative emotions were more accounted for by passionate love than by companionate love.
		Specifically, we predicted that companionate love would be more strongly associated with life satisfaction than would passionate love, whereas passionate love would be more strongly associated with the emotional aspect of subjective well-being; positive and negative affect.
		Compared with passionate love, companionate love is less intense, but is a warm feeling of affection and tenderness that people feel for those with whom their lives are deeply connected.
