What is your Love Language? Quality Time, Physical Touch, Gifts, Acts of Service, Words of Affirmation
Dr. Gary Chapman coined the term “love languages” to explain how we express and receive love. Love languages aren’t just for romance! You can use the love languages to appreciate people in business, to support friends, and to show a partner you care.
Quality time is about spending time together enjoying each other’s company
Physical touch is showing love through hugging, cuddling, being intimate, or simply putting a caring hand on someone’s shoulder.
Gifts does not require large or extravagantly expensive gifts. It can be notes, CDs, flowers, or leaving a pastry. These small gifts are tokens of love to the giver or receiver.
Acts of service are acts of love when someone performs an action for the other. This can be cleaning, cooking, driving, or even doing an errand. By doing that act of service, the other person feels love or shows love.
Words of affirmation are verbal clues for others to express how much they love and care about someone. Words of affirmation also can be compliments and reassurances that confirm inner love in an outer way.
