42. We Found Love (Languages) in a Hopeless Place

Alrighty, so this is not the hit song by Calvin Harris & Rihanna BUT it is all about the theory of love languages baby!!!! Ahh, love is complex innit. As we try to navigate different romantic and non-romantic relationships, it is important to understand that humans give and receive love in different ways. According to Dr Gary Chapman's book The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate, there are 5 different expressions of love: •Acts of Service •Physical Touch •Words of Affirmation •Gifts •Quality Time We both took the quiz to find out how we each give and receive love and divulged all in this episode! Based on our experiences growing up as Asian Australians, we also applied an Asian household lens on the love languages and spoke about how love was present in our homes and why that might be the case.
