My Love Language Journey
“The best relationships thrive when we learn to love people in the way they receive it”

My Love Language Journey
My introduction to love languages came through my marriage. I'm a naturally expressive person, showering my husband with words of affirmation and gratitude. However, I felt a disconnect when I didn't receive the same level of verbal affection in return. Discovering the 5 Love Languages was a revelation. I realized I was speaking my love language, not his. His love was expressed through acts of service – thoughtful actions that showed he cared.
What are the 5 Love Languages?
Dr. Gary Chapman's concept of love languages describes the ways we best feel and express love. They are:
Words of Affirmation: Verbal and written encouragement, compliments, and expressions of love.
Acts of Service: Showing love through helpful actions and support.
Receiving Gifts: Thoughtful gifts that demonstrate care and consideration.
Quality Time: Undivided, intentional time spent together.
Physical Touch: Expressing love through physical affection.
