There are some of us who cannot feel the feeling of love for others. It was trained out of us by the traumas of childhood. For those of us so suffering, (often unknowingly), more men than women, there will be avoidances of close relationships and the words "I love you". If this is your difficulty, then the most important step you can take is to decide you want to feel love. To actually feel loving toward others will probably take some time and perhaps therapy. There are even more of us who do not "get" the feeling of love when it is directed toward us. We slough it off without actually receiving it. A decision is also required here as a first step, the decision to want to be able to receive love.

If we say psychology of love it may scare you. Instead, one may focus on practical way, easy ways to say “I love you” – and enjoy the healthy relationship.
Psychology depicts love as a cognitive and social phenomenon. Psychologist Robert Sternberg formulated a triangular theory of love and argued that love has three different components:
1. Intimacy: Intimacy is a form in which two people share confidences and various details of their personal lives. Intimacy is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs.
2. Commitment, on the other hand, is the expectation that the relationship is permanent.
3. The last and most common form of love is sexual attraction and passion. Passionate love is shown in infatuation as well as romantic love. All forms of love are viewed as varying combinations of these three components
The psychology of love doesn't have to be complicated. Love can be as simple as giving your partner the benefit of the doubt.

It is said the main psychology behind the love is sharing and caring of feeling, emotion and to be in one another company in good and bad bad times. It is sort of bond with the combination of trust, faith and confidence on each other when two persons fall in love with each other that develop in them psychologically and even physically too.

Apart from the feeling you get when hormones such as Phenyl ethylamine is pumped into your blood, love is an emotion triggered by your subconscious mind to bring you closer to a person whom your subconscious mind thinks that he/she is of importance to your well being.
Suppose that you were having a down time and someone kept helping you everyday in getting over it, in this case, your subconscious mind will find that staying with that person improves your mood and so it makes you love him to assure that you are going to stay close to them.
