What is a Love Language?
The concept of the five love languages comes from Gary Chapman’s book The 5 Love Languages. In his book he outlines 5 main emotional needs (or love languages) that individuals need in a relationship.
The five love languages are:
- Words of Affirmation
- Acts of Service
- Receiving Gifts
- Quality Time
- Physical Touch
The key is identifying which love language your partner speaks and meeting their needs in their own language.
I highly recommend checking out the resources at https://www.5lovelanguages.com/ and especially take the quiz to learn you and your partner’s love language. If you’re ready to learn more, I really recommend reading the book and joining us in this community to learn more about the first love language (words of affirmation).
I love this YouTube introduction to the 5 love languages and especially the explanation on the one we focus on here (words of affirmation): https://youtu.be/TkQC2YwJMDY
