LoveLanguagesThe love languages are a popular theory,first developed by Gary Chapman, Ph.D.,for helping people in relationshipsunderstand each other's needs and howthey differ from each other. But how doyou know what your love language is?Here's our helpful guide based on TheFive Love Languages book.A New IdeaPlantedSEEDS OF WISDOM TO KEEP NEW IDEASGROWING

How do I know my lovelanguage?So what are thecategories?1. Words of affirmationWords of affirmation are any verbalexpressions of affection, validation,or care. People who have this lovelanguage usually really likereceiving compliments, hearingtheir partner say what they likeabout them, and the words "I loveyou" and all its sweet variations.2. Physical touchPhysical touch includes any form ofphysical contact between twopeople to show affection, such askissing, holding hands andcuddling. People with this lovelanguage tend to enjoy "touchy"relationships, public displays ofaffection, and being held close bytheir partner.3. Quality timeQuality time is the time two peoplespend together really enjoying eachother's company. People with thislove language really value partnerswho make plans regularly, show up,and just want to spend tons of timehanging out with them, whether it'sa fancy date night or chilling on thecouch talking until dawn.Knowing your love language is important so you can let your romantic partners and otherimportant people in your life know how to give you the validation you need. And knowingyour partner's love language is equally vital, as that should guide how you treat them.To figure out what your lovelanguage is, consider the way youexpress affection to the people youlove—whether friends, family, orromantic partners. Do you tend tocuddle with them on the couch? Ordo you like to shower them withcompliments and verbalaffirmation? Or maybe you preferto make big gestures of care, likeshowing up unannounced to drive them homefrom the airport? Or maybe thebiggest way you show you care isby picking up the tab at brunch orgrabbing something for them whileshopping when you see somethingyou know they'll like.The way you show people you lovethem—and the way you want themto show you love—are usually clearindicators of your love language.You may have more than one lovelanguage, or you might have oneprimary love language and a fewsecondary ones.We all may relate to mostof these languages, buteach of us has one thatspeaks to us the most.4.GiftsGifts are exactly what they soundlike: items given to show someoneyou're thinking of them or toexpress feelings of love or care.People with gifts as their lovelanguage feel most loved whentheir partners bring them tangiblegifts, particularly ones that areclearly meaningful, personalised, orseemed to take a lot of time, effort,thought, or resources to give.5. Acts of serviceActs of service are thoughtfulgestures meant to meaningfullymake someone's day better oreasier, such as making them coffeein the morning, bringing themfood when they're sick, or beingwilling to make a personal sacrificeso they feel content. People withthis love language see meaning inactions and feel loved when theirpartner is really making an effortfor their sake.Discovering your and yourpartner's love languageand speaking that regularlymay create a betterunderstanding of eachother's needs and supporteach other's growth.
