Love Languages
Everyone has different ways in which they express and feel love. The 5 different love languages explain how people do this. They are words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, acts of service, and gift-giving. If you're in a relationship, it's important to understand each other's love languages to maintain a healthy and fulfilling connection.
Words of affirmation refer to expressing love through spoken/written words and praises. When this is someone's love language, they like words of encouragement, reassurance, love letters, cute text messages, etc. A person whose love language is physical touch likes holding hands, getting hugged, and being in physical contact with their partner. When someone values your presence the most, their love language is quality time. They feel most loved when they are given undivided attention and spend significant time with their partner. This means having meaningful conversations, eye contact, and active listening. The last two, acts of service and gift-giving are often confused with one another by people. Acts of service refer to the little things people notice and do for you. They perform acts of kindness like helping you with a task. Gift-giving, on the other hand, is about taking the time and effort to pick out meaningful gifts for someone that don't necessarily have to be big or on special occasions. This makes someone feel valued and appreciated.
Most people also have more than one way of feeling and expressing love which can change over time just like our needs and wants. If you're not sure what these are there are multiple quizzes available only to help you figure that out. This will only help if both you and your partner communicate effectively, understand each other's needs, and act accordingly.
