Logical love refers to the type in which one selects a companion with the "right qualities" and who may have compatible interests and similar education and religion. Logical love is also characterized as the decision to seek a harmonious personality and common values and goals.

This love is experienced in pre-arranged marriages, by gold-diggers, and in the past by people in royal or landmark families. The person or people in this type of love may not feel a deep attraction or affection for their mate at first, however a bond forms through the situational context. This love is often used to preserve a status quo or misrepresent the lack of a relationship for something meaningful.
