Answer:

Intimacy

Step-by-step explanation:

Robert Sternberg developed a theory of love, called the triarchic theory of love, this theory states that love is formed by 3 components and there are different kinds of love depending on the presence or absence of these components in a relation.

These 3 components are:

  1. Intimacy: this component refers to feelings of closeness, connectedness, and bondedness in loving relationships.
  2. Passion: Refers to physical attraction, sexual consummation, and related phenomena in loving relationships.
  3. Decision/commitment: It refers to the decision to love a certain other and the commitment to maintain that love.

Thus, from these components, the one that relates to the emotional feelings of warmth, closeness and sharing is Intimacy.

*Note: Attachment is not one of the components of love according to Sternberg.
