What Is Your Love Language?
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:

According to me my love language is communication, physical touch, taking time to fully listen and understand what the other person is saying. Assurance and support “personal cheerleader” in everything.
My love language is receiving gifts❤️and the quiz was right on point! I’m a firm believer of thoughtfulness and this often prevails itself in a form of gifts or gestures (Acts of service). I love being showered with love, words alone and physical touch (to me) are never enough. I want to be able to look at a gift and think, “Wow man! He really does love me!” The fact that he can think of/see something without me being present and he sees it fit for me is overwhelmingly beautiful🥰! That’s why there’s a quote that says, “it’s the thought that counts the most”.
Before taking the quiz, I knew my “go-to” love language would be ACTS OF SERVICE. The best way I show people around me, especially my partner is doing meaningful things for them and they too for me. It melts my heart hearing my partner say “Hey baby, I did the laundry today.” after a long day at work.
Not yo say the other languages aren’t used in our relationship but this one for me takes the cup. For Him? Physical touch does it.
Results After the quiz:
Acts of service: 33%
Quality time: 30%
Words of Affirmation: 17%
Physical touch: 20%
Receiving gifts: 0%
Receiving gifts wasn’t that much of a surprise for me, with it ranking 0% .We do buy each other gifts but our relationship isn’t really built on it.
But there is room from improvement 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾🙈💃🏾💃🏾 this is exciting. I will make him do the quiz as well to see what his are, so I can love him better.

Quality time is my love language. I respect my man for being their for me always❤️. My husband is hardworker but always makes time for his family. He recently got injured both hands he was literally crying saying that he’s heart broken coz he can’t work for his family “us”. I felt so hurt coz he’s not thinking about healing but he’s worried about us instead. I love him so much❤️He knows it
