Taken from the book, The Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman
There are five love languages that people speak. Which one do you like to receive?
1. Words of Affirmation (You like to hear nice things being said to you. Verbal appreciation/compliments are all you need to hear to feel loved.)
2. Quality Time (Focusing your energy on your partner. The idea behind this is, "If you're here with me, then you appreciate me." this also includes quality conversations and activities spent together.)
3. Gifts (People who speak this love language often feel that a lack of gifts represents a lack of love from their mate. However, the gifts are not necessarily about money - thoughtful gifts are included. It conveys the message, "I thought about you and I did something about it.")
4. Acts of Service (Similar to words of affirmation, these are nice things that people do for you, instead of say. )
5. Physical touch (Many mates feel the most loved when they receive physical contact from their partner. Hand holding, hugs, back rubs and...yes...sexual intercourse. )
Important things to note about love languages:
- Most people have one primary love language.
- 80% of people who get married will marry someone with a different love language.
- Most people who express love communicate in their own primary love language instead of taking into consideration the love language of another.
