Let's start with the fact that every person has a so-called "language of love". By and large, “love languages” - a concept created by Dr. Gary Chapman through his long-time work as a marriage counsellor. The five love languages are five different ways of expressing love: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.
Words of affirmation
People with this type of mind need constant verbal reminders that they are loved. Undoubtedly, they are happy to hear regular compliments, words of appreciation and admiration. Harsh words and criticism can bother such a person for a long time! Besides, make sure you’re giving these words of affirmation in front of others. By the way, an equally important moment for people with this type of love are periodic messages on social networks!
Acts of Service
Cooking a meal, setting the table, emptying the dishwasher, keeping the car clean, paying the bills, trimming the shrubs or making the beds- these are your keys to success! This love language is for people who believe that actions speak louder than words. If your partner's main love language is acts of service, they'll tend to perform acts of service and kindness for others!
Receiving gifts
Don't be scared! It is not necessarily give large or expensive presents. Can't afford an expensive bouquet of roses? Harvest wild flowers and present to your girlfriend. She will appreciate the gift! The gift is a physical symbol of your love, it doesn’t matter how much it cost… The key is to give meaningful things that matter to them!
Quality time
Someone with this love language wants undivided attention. They feel loved if you are present and focused on them. Such people get pleasure if someone is sincerely interested in their life and condition. They want other people carefully listen to their stories, ask clarifying questions, etc. They are upset by the lack of attention to their person…
Physical touch
Holding hands, kisses and hugs are your preferred way to show and receive love. Physical intimacy is the way to establish emotional connection for people with this love language. Your appropriate touches convey warmth and safety for such a partner! Remember- a simple little hand massage, neck massage or back massage could do wonders!
