The 5 Love Languages

and why knowing yours and the ones of your partners is important for healthy relationships.
Acts of Service

are any acts that eases the burden of responsibility, e.g. washing the dishes, pamper your partner, offer “let me do that for you.”
Giving Gifts

involves tangible symbols that reflect your thoughtfulness and effort, e.g. make birthdays and anniversaries special, surprise them with their favorite treat.
Physical Touch

is a non-sexual touch that reinforces your presence, e.g. long hugs, gentle caressing, kissing, massages, hand holding.
Quality Time

is focused and undivided attention spent together like for example turning off electronics, going for a walk, planning date nights or starting a hobby together.
Words of Affirmation

are verbal compliments that express your love and appreciation like writing a love letter for example, or simply compliments about your partner’s outfit or a character trait of theirs.
Knowing your love language gives you the communication to explain what's most important to meet your emotional needs and also the insight to figure out what's important to your partners so you can best meet their emotional needs.
Having other love languages than your partners doesn’t necessarily make you incompatible. For a healthy relationship it’s important that you learn the love languages of your partners, tho, so they actually feel the love that you wanna give them.
