Words of Affirmation

This language of love conveys love with words that build your partner up. Verbal compliments should not be complex. 

  • "The dress looks great on you!
  • "You really make me laugh." 
  • "Today, I love your hair." 

If your partner has this language of love, words mean a lot. 

You can go a long way with congratulations and "I love you". On the other hand, the partner will be upset by negative or offensive remarks and it may take them longer than most to forgive.

Acts of Service

If their motto is "Actions speak louder than words," your partner could have this language. 

By doing things that you know your partner would appreciate, this love language expresses itself. Acts of service include cooking a meal, doing the laundry, and picking up a prescription. They need some attention, time, and effort.

Receiving Gifts

This language of affection is not inherently materialistic. It just means that your partner feels cherished and valued with a meaningful or thoughtful gift. 

After a long work week, something as easy as picking up a pint of their favorite ice cream will make a big difference.

Quality Time

This love language is all about undivided attention. No televisions, no smartphones, or any other distractions.

If this is your partner’s primary language, they don’t just want to be included during this period of time, they want to be the center of your attention. They want their partners to look at them and them only.

Physical Touch

To people with this language of affection, nothing is more impactful than their partner's physical contact. 

If your partner's primary love language is Physical Touch, they would feel unloved without physical contact. All of the words and gifts in the world won’t change that. Not only mentally, but physically, they want to feel you close by.
