A culture is a powerful tool that affects different aspects of human life. However, its influence on human relationships is profound. Zimmermann (2015) defines culture as “the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts” (p. 2). These definitions show that culture has a strong impact on people’s attitudes and behaviors. Conversely, these attitudes and behaviors affect people’s perception of love and intimacy. Indeed, around the world, people have different perceptions of love and relationships. For example, the relationship between mothers and their daughters often vary across different cultures. Similarly, the relationship between fathers and their sons vary in the same way. Understanding cultural variations and their influence on human relationships are interesting in today’s society because different minority groups are struggling to find their identity in today’s complex modern society. This study argues that culture is the key to understanding people’s varying perceptions of love and intimacy. It further goes ahead to state that human relationships are products of cultural perceptions. This way, this paper suggests that cultural differences explain variations in intimacy and human relationships. These insights come from an assessment of the role of culture in influencing people’s attitudes and beliefs towards love, sex, and intimacy. Since culture is diverse, the focus of this study is on people’s social habits as the main cultural tenet that affects human interaction. This way, we exclude other aspects of culture, such as cuisine, language, music, and arts (based on the characteristics of culture as defined by Zimmermann, 2015). However, before delving into the details surrounding this paper, it is important to understand the theoretical background of this topic. Theoretical Background When comprehending the role of culture in human relationships, it is important to investigate the triangular theory of love, as explained by a psychologist, Robert Sternberg (cited in Sternberg and Weis, 2006), because he investigated this issue when explaining the role of love in intimate relationships. According to Yiu (2015), the triangular theory of love has three main components – intimacy, passion, and commitment. These different types of love evolve through different stages that involve the evolution of love through the non-love stage, liking/friendship stage, infatuation stage, “empty love” stage, romantic stage, compassion stage, fatuous stage, and consummate stage (Sternberg & Weis, 2006). Therefore, a variation in any of the three components of love translates to variations in love. However, a significant criticism of this theory is the failure of Sternberg and Weis (2006) to explain when the different stages of love start. In an unrelated sphere of analysis, some researchers believe that self-disclosure is an important component of understanding human relationships (Marshall, 2008; Yiu, 2015). Although most of them believe it is an important aspect of understanding relationships in the western culture, some researchers believe other aspects of relationships, such as empathy, support, and af
