5 Love language

• There are five (5) love languages: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch
• Words of Affirmation


  This love language expresses love with words that build up your way of relating. Verbal compliments don't have to be complicated; the shortest and simplest praises can be the most effective.
• Words of Affirmation


  • "That dress looks incredible on you!"
  • "You always make me laugh."
  • "I love your hair today."
• Acts of Service


  This love language expresses itself by doing things that you 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 you loved and appreciated.
• Quality Time


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


  To people with this love language, nothing is more impactful than the physical touch as an expression of love. They aren't necessarily into over-the-top PDA, but they do feel more connected and safe in a relationship by holding hands, kissing, hugging, to pat someone on the shoulder, etc.
• Learning your family, friends, someone you love and your own primary love language will help create a stronger bond in your relationship.
• Dr. Gary Chapman: 'Relationships grow better when we understand each other.'
• Everyone gives and receives love differently, but with a little insight into these differences, we can be confidently equipped to communicate love well.
• This is true for all forms of relationship – for married or dating couples, for children and teenagers, for friends and coworkers, for long-distance relationships, for those brand-new loves and for the romances that are older than the hills.
