You might know the personality, or zodiac sign of your partner but do you know what their love language is? There is more to the idea of love languages than a simple personality test. Understanding how you need to accept love to feel content requires understanding your own personal love language. Knowing your partner’s love language is also essential for showing love in an effective way, and vice versa. In fact, a good relationship depends on you knowing (and using) your partner’s love language.
Let’s have a look that what are different love languages?
Words of Affirmation
For someone who loves words of affirmation above all, a good compliment can go a long way. Genuine words of support and encouragement are valued and appreciated if they don’t go beyond the obvious or come across as forced. Being overlooked or neglected can be extremely difficult for someone who thrives on affirmation. Spoken or written (perhaps even handwritten!) words of affirmation blossom in the hearts of those who speak this language.
Quality Time
If you feel the happiest during a two-hour coffee date without your phone, quality time may be your main love language. Quality time can be as simple as
sharing a meal, going for a walk (or other exercise of choice that is companion- friendly), or even doing the laundry together. For someone whose love language is quality time, regular dates, family meals, and disconnecting with a heart-to- heart can be especially vital.
Physical Touch
The language of physical contact can be expressed in a variety of ways, from the platonic fist-bump you give a friend when she tells you she landed an interview for her dream job to the innocent intimate moment you share with your partner to close the workday.
Acts of Service
Acts of service is a love language of people who love doing and getting things done for them. The idea is that when we go above and beyond to do small acts expressly for our partners, rather than merely because they must get done in order to be crossed off the to-do list, it becomes an act of service. Acts of service may be your love language if you feel loved the most when your partner helps you with a chore.
Gifts
Those who use gifts as their preferred form of communication aren’t always materialistic. Instead, when someone gives them a particular item, material or intangible that makes them feel special, their tanks are full. It is true that what matters is the thought.
It will be easier for you to understand how your partner expresses their love for you if you are aware of their preferred love language. Mostly, it’s not that our partner doesn’t love us, it’s that they only show it to us in the ways they are able to. When your partner is aware of the types of love you require, they can start expressing their love in those ways.
