ROSE

The nature of the conscious experience of love is a puzzle for people around the world. Many of us want to understand our love in order to make it more sustainable. This ROSE application aims to help individuals in this very difficult task.

ROSE is a self-evaluation of many dimensions of our love. In ROSE, different love dimensions are described by few statements (indicators) that an individual can relate to and evaluate. You can evaluate these statements according to your own perceived current reality and your own vision for your future. When individuals and couples visualize their love they have a basis to make their love relationship more sustainable. Possible problems in our current reality can
be seen in different light than earlier. Possible future problems can be seen and analyzed in a proactive manner.

In ROSE, love is analyzed according to eight dimensions, including six different love styles (Hendrick & Hendrick, 2003), which are: Eros (intense, passionate love), Ludus (love played as a game), Storge (love based in friendship), Pragma (pragmatic love), Mania (love characterized by emotional ups and downs) and Agape (spiritual love). Two additional dimensions are basic characteristics in humans: self-esteem and self-control (Vanharanta, 2003).

An outcome of ROSE evaluation are different dimensions of love presented visually using 16 fuzzy hearts, and in optional numerical format. The size of each heart describes the perceived level in each love dimension. The ROSE report shows two hearts for each dimension: one represents your perceived current reality and the other one your desired future vision of love.
