The correct answer is intimacy and decision/commitment.

According to Sternberg's triangular theory of love, we feel different types of love for each other, such as, passionate love, companionate love, romantic love, etc. Companionate love refers to love that combines (emotional) intimacy and commitment. Companionate love does not include passion (a sexual relationship). This type of love can be found between spouses who are still committed and affectionate to each other, but their relationship lacks passion and sexual desire.
