What's Your Love Language?

This week, Sherene and Nichole discuss the five love languages. Not everyone receives and expresses love in the same way. Knowing your partners love language can lead to a more engaging and bonded relationship.

Five love languages:

1)Words of affirmation: desire spoken affection, praise, and compliments. Criticism and discouraging words hurt you more than others.

2)Acts of service: desires a partner who willingly eases their workload. For example, a partner who does the dishes before you get to it or makes you breakfast in bed. But laziness and broken promises can make you feel uncared for. 

3)Receiving gifts: desires thoughtful gift rather than generic gifts. This love language isn’t necessarily materialistic. It could be as simple as a person getting you your favorite snack.

4)Quality time: desires undivided attention. A person who is actively listening and truly present rather than looking at their phone. You feel unloved without one-on-one time.

5)Physical touch: kisses, hand holding, hugs, and other touches show love. Lack of touch doesn't allow for this person to feel a sense of safety or warmth in the relationship.
