The 5 Love Languages

There are five love languages:

  1. Words of Affirmation (compliments, positive feedback)
  2. Acts of Service (washing the dishes, doing the groceries)
  3. Receiving Gifts (buying flowers, making a gift)
  4. Quality Time (going for a walk, weekend trips)
  5. Physical Touch (holding hands, cuddling)

Words of Affirmation

This love language expresses love with words that build up your partner. Verbal compliments don't have to be complicated.

  • “That dress looks incredible on you!”
  • “You always make me laugh.”
  • “I love your hair today.”

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

Your partner might have this language if their motto is "Actions speak louder than words."

This love language expresses itself by doing things that you know your spouse would like. Cooking a meal, doing the laundry, and picking up a prescription are all acts of service. They require some thought, time, and effort.

Receiving Gifts

This love language isn’t necessarily materialistic. It just means that a meaningful or thoughtful gift makes your partner feel loved and appreciated.

Something as simple as picking up a pint of their favourite ice cream after a long work week can make a huge impact.

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 love language, nothing is more impactful than the physical touch of their partner.

If Physical Touch is your partner’s primary love language, they will feel unloved without physical contact. All of the words and gifts in the world won’t change that. They want to feel you close by, not just emotionally, but physically.
