Let's talk about what actually makes relationships thrive. Have you heard of the 5 Love Languages❓
If this is new to you, here are the basics: people give and receive love in different ways. Gary Chapman, Ph.D. identified five main languages in his book The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts, based on years of working with couples as a marriage counselor.
The five languages are:
- Words of Affirmation
- Quality Time
- Acts of Service
- Gifts
- Physical Touch
Here's why this matters: you might be showing love in YOUR language, but the people around you might speak a completely different one. Understanding their language means you can actually connect with them in the way they need most.
