Learning your love language can help you reach the highest level of love. It gives you deeper insight into your behavior and helps you reach your goals. The five love languages are ways that people show and receive love and affection. Learning them will help couples understand their own love language, as well as how to appreciate one another more. The five love languages include:
1. Acts of service
Acts of service imply that actions speak louder than words. If your love language is acts of service, you prefer people who do things rather than those who say they will. That means that doing things that should be done has a lot more love than lying on the couch watching Netflix.
2. Physical touch
People who experience love through physical touch believe that their skin is the main receiver of love. They feel love when they're touched appropriately, and express love by touching someone else, for example by holding their hand or putting an arm around them.
3. Words of affirmation
If your self love language is words of affirmation, you mostly express and feel love through words and verbal cues. Also, compliments, such as being told someone loves you or that you are amazing, are exactly what you need.
4. Gifts
This one is self-explanatory: gifts are used to express and receive love. You appreciate when someone gives you something they've chosen for you, especially if it was thoughtfully chosen. So, consider how you could treat yourself in order to give yourself the gift love language. If you can, I would recommend making a budget for this so that you can buy yourself self-love gifts.
5. Quality time
When your self-love language is "quality time," this means you enjoy being the center of attention. Quality time involves making time for yourself, spending time with yourself, and doing something that fulfills you.
