💞 The Triangular Theory of Love 💞

To have a long lasting relationship, couple should:

💗 Intimacy – the emotional side. It’s late-night talks, inside jokes, feeling safe and seen. (3 mon)

🔥 Passion – the spark. Physical attraction, chemistry, and excitement. ( on sight)

💍 Commitment – the choice. Sticking together, building trust, and showing up even when things aren’t perfect. (1-2 years)

When all 3 hit? That’s a sign of a healthy and loving relationship. 💫

Have we all unanimously decided to try this Red Nail Theory trend? Lol Growing up I never liked red nails, ever, I thought they were associated with old ladies (no offense). But now at my big age, I’m ready to try red nails again and test this theory out. They give “sexy” to me now.. ironic right?

An infographic titled 'WHAT IS A SPOONIE?' explaining that a 'spoonie' is someone with a chronic physical or mental health condition that limits daily energy, requiring careful activity choices as each task uses 'spoons' (energy).
Text explaining 'HOW DOES IT WORK?' in the Spoon Theory, stating that daily 'spoons' represent energy, and different tasks require varying amounts, like brushing teeth taking 2 spoons and grocery shopping taking 10.
Text explaining 'HOW MANY SPOONS DO I HAVE?' in the Spoon Theory, noting that the number varies daily and is replenished through rest, depending on activities and quality of rest received.
Spoonies and their Theory
The spoon theory can be very helpful for both demonstrating to others how you feel, and remembering how much energy you have throughout the day so you can spend it well! If you're still having trouble understanding, try using the template on the last slide and figure out how you would spend you
