So I’m sure you have all heard of
The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. I
have studied love languages for a while now and I believe they are one of many
good methods to really connect with your significant other. There is a nifty
little quiz you can find in PDF format. My boyfriend and I both took the quiz
and the results were not surprising.
The Five Love Languages are:
Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and
Physical Touch. Each one involves a unique set of skills to show someone you
love them.
For example, I have a friend
named Eric. He studied Russian in college and ended up in a study abroad
program. He fell in love with this one girl and the only way to tell her how he
felt was to say it in Russian. The love languages work the same way. You have
to find that unique way to communicate with someone otherwise they don’t
understand.
My quiz results were Quality Time
followed by Words of Affirmation which was tied with Physical Touch. My boy
friend on the other hand got Quality Time but that was followed by Physical
Touch. So we have some stuff in common. Physical Touch is the easy part. It
comes naturally. Words of Affirmation, on the other hand, are a lot harder for
someone that is an introvert like my boyfriend. It does take time to learn how
to communicate with each other.
I think everyone can benefit from
studying their significant others Love Language. It could mean the difference
between a deep connection and a superficial one.
