What Is Your Love Language?

The 5 Languages of Love

Dr. Chapman wrote this book and it was published in 1992.

Its been ages since then yet I still hear the buzzword 'language of love'. 

The American author has more than 30 years of experience as a marriage counselor and in his book, he shares the theory/concept that everyone has their own love language and their own way of interpreting love.

He introduced the 5 languages of love as:

1. Words of Affirmation

2. Quality Time

3. Receiving Gifts

4. Acts of Service

5. Physical Touch

This "different ways of interpreting love and different ways of feeling loved" actually makes sense to me. It also explains why many couples struggle thinking that their relationships were loveless but only to discover that they have a different way of showing love.

I took the free assessment and it was validated that I feel most loved when I am given Quality Time and daily Affirmations.

Quality Time:

"In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, “I love you,” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes your significant other feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful."

Affirmation:

"Actions don’t always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, “I love you,” are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten."
