What’s your love language?! This is such a fascinating topic to me. There are 5 love languages that describe how we feel loved and appreciated. They explain our emotional communication preferences. The 5 languages include: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. Let’s break ‘em down.
Words of Affirmation: This language expresses love with words that build up your partner. Simply put, verbal compliments.
Acts of Service: This language expresses itself by doing something you know your partner would like. It follows the idea of “Actions speak louder than words”.
Receiving Gifts: This language is pretty simple. A thoughtful or meaningful gift can make your partner feel loved and appreciated. It’s not necessarily materialistic.
Quality Time: This language is all about having your partner’s undivided attention. Literally, the center of attention.
Physical Touch: For this language, nothing is as impactful as the physical touch of your partner. Connection is felt by hugging, kissing, holding hands, etc.
If you’re unsure of what your love language is, take this quiz! https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/
After taking the quiz, I found out my top 2 languages are Quality Time and Receiving Gifts. It’s not uncommon to have 2 high scores. It just means that 2 are important to you! My results are not surprising to me at all. I love attention (no shame) and I love getting gifts (again, no shame). Just because these 2 were my highest scores doesn’t mean the other 3 aren’t important. I just value Quality Time and Receiving Gifts a bit more than the others. If you haven’t taken the quiz yet, do it! It takes about 5 minutes and knowing your results can benefit your relationship/connection significantly!
