What Is Your Love Language?

Posted on by Kathleen | 40 comments

We all want to feel understood, appreciated, cared for and wanted in our own ways and to just feel loved. Being loved and loving someone is one of the most beautiful things in this world – whether you’re still looking for love, or in love.

We all love differently, therefore, the way we want to be loved is different. It doesn’t necessarily fit into the “one size fits all” box. That theory is behind New York Times Best Seller’s The 5 Languages of Love book.

 

Unhappiness in a relationship could just be a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman.

While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages:

  • Words of Affirmation
  • Quality Time
  • Receiving Gifts
  • Acts of Service
  • Physical Touch

 

So – what is your love language and how do you figure out what your partners love language is? Dr. Gary Chapman’s short questionnaires is one way to find out. (Scroll further down to take the quiz)

Once you have established which love language holds higher importance in both yours and your partner’s life, it’s time to learn how to speak it. Learning how to speak it is just as important as identifying it. If you’re not showing the correct type of love your significant other needs, then your efforts won’t be appreciated as expected.

What you want might not be what the other person wants – let’s take a quick look at what each of the 5 love languages are:

    I’m an Acts of Service girl, knew it before and the quiz confirmed this. There’s nothing better than getting help from a loved one ticking off the to do list for the day, a simple cup of coffee or hanging the laundry speaks volumes to me 🥰

    Words of Affirmation
    Quality Time, Acts of Service and Physical Touch I would say is to be a daily thing. Show your appreciation to your partner every day. Life is short. You never know when that hug, kiss or I love you will be the last. – Sincerely, A young widow
