I won’t gatekeep the three remaining love languages from you today, as I said in yesterday’s post that today’s would list the other three languages of love. I will, however, make you wait a little longer, or, rather, I ask that you don’t skip ahead just to get to the goods.
Prior to learning about the types of love language, I really had no idea what my own is, or Blaine’s, for that matter. Knowing the languages now, though, and which types we fit into, I can say that having an understanding of how you love as well as your partner is an incredibly advantageous thing to know. Knowing our own love language and that of our partner is arguably the best way to ensure your relationship is thriving to its fullest potential, which I imagine Dr. Gary Chapman would agree with.
Again, the following information comes from mindbodygreen.com.
“3) Acts of service: If your love language is acts of service, you value when your partner goes out of their way to make your life easier. It’s things like bringing you soup when you’re sick, making your coffee for you in the morning, or picking up your dry cleaning for you when you’ve had a busy day at work.
“4) Gifts: Gifts is a pretty straightforward love language: You feel loved when people give you ‘visual symbols of love,’ as Chapman calls it. It’s not about the monetary value but the symbolic thought behind the item. People with this style recognize and value the gift-giving process: the careful reflection, the deliberate choosing of the object to represent the relationship, and the emotional benefits from receiving the present.
“5) Physical touch: People with physical touch as their love language feel loved when they receive physical signs of affection, including kissing, holding hands, cuddling on the couch, and sex. Physical intimacy and touch can be incredibly affirming and serve as a powerful emotional connector for people with this love language. The roots go back to our childhood, Motamedi notes, some people only felt deep affection and love by their parents when they were held, kissed, or touched,” the web page states.
So, what is your own love language?
