It is the most prominent and notable theme around which many of the notable folk tales of
Punjab and Sindh revolve. These love stories follow different pathways, but arrive at one
similar ending – the perishing of lovers while fighting for each other.
The iconic characters of folklore can easily be seen in Pakistani culture today. Innumerable
songs, movies, poems, books, and TV series keep them immortal.

The premise of the Three Loves Theory is that not all love is experienced
equally. Anyone with a fair amount of romantic/sexual experience could tell
you that love and passion come in different flavors. With some people
it’s intense and furious, with others it’s mellow and sensitive. With some,
it’s tumultuous with a lot of ups and downs, with others it’s slow and
consistent over a long period of time.
The three loves that she came up with are the following: Lust, Passion, and
Commitment.3 These three loves occur in different parts of the brain and
occur independently from each other. For instance, you can be “in lust” with
someone but have no perceived commitment to them (e.g., one night stands).
But before we get into that, let’s cover what the three loves are specifically.
If two people remain in passion for long enough, and there is a long-
term compatibility where they can continue to share new life experiences
together indefinitely, then commitment will arise. Commitment is an
unbelievably powerful feeling and occurs rarely in life.
Commitment is when the passion of Love Two persists to the point that
it’s unconditional. Couples that are in Love Two and not Love Three will often
feel great until something happens: he loses his job, she has a miscarriage, he
starts drinking, etc.
Commitment is when you emotionally accept and love the other person’s flaws
as much as their strengths. Scientists have actually shown that for couples who
reach that level of commitment, their senses of self actually merge with the
other person.
