Let me ask you this…How are you currently expressing your love with your partner?
I see many couples invest their time in communicating their love with the love language they wish to receive. They often become disappointed when the energy they have invested falls flat with their partner.
Taking the time to learn and understand your partner’s primary love language (which is often different to your own) can improve your connection, your communication and your relationship bond.
The five love languages are five different ways of expressing and receiving love. The concept of love languages was developed by Garry Chapman (https://www.5lovelanguages.com/)
They are:
- Words of affirmation
- Quality time
- Receiving gifts
- Act of services
- Physical touch
Chances are, you can relate to a few of these, maybe you relate to all of them, but often one or two tend to be the primary way you like to be loved.
So, whatever your love language might be, what’s most important is that you respect each other’s need to receive love in the way that makes each of you feel safe, comfortable and secure in your connection.
We explore the love languages in my Relationship recovery program, we discover this concept in the communication/connection phase of the program. Let us support you in building a stronger more intimate connection with each other.
