5 Love Languages

The 5 languages of love, developed by Dr Gary Chapman:-


1. Quality Time
Being together, doing things together and focusing in on one another is the best way to show love. If this is your partner's love language, turn off the TV now and then and give one another some undivided attention. Providing a listening ear to your partner when they ventilating; they don't require a solution, they just need a EAR. Adopting the H2O approach? Huh...Hum...Oh...

2. Words of Affirmation

This is when you say how nice your spouse looks, how good your spouse looks in that piece of dress/shirt, how great the dinner tasted or even thank them for the small errands they have run for you. These words will also build your partner's self image and confidence.

3. Receiving Gifts

They don't have to be expensive to send a powerful message of love. To them, several inexpensive gifts mean more than one large gift. An occasional surprise or gift to show that you remember and appreciate. Spouses who forget a birthday or anniversary or who never give gifts to someone who truly enjoys gift giving will find themselves with a spouse who feels neglected and unloved.

4. Acts of Service

Doing the little little things for your partner. These acts of service like helping out with the chores, doing things for your partner that you don't enjoy doing, enthusiastically do a task that you have requested etc. They like to know that you are concerned enough to help them with their daily task. It is the actions that show that you care and love for them.

5. Physical Touch

Sometimes just stroking your spouse's back, holding hands, or a peck on the cheek will fulfill this need.


One that is so common to most of us - the language of love, the love of language.


One that we use in our daily life, consciously or unconsciously, with our love ones, friends or even colleagues, to show our love, appreciation, gratitude and care and concern


One which allows us to understand how we want our "love tank" to be filled and how we can express love to others. If we don't understand our partner's requirements or even ours, there will bound to be misunderstanding and unhappiness in the relationships. Relationships involve investment and is only through this investment will there be sweet fruits of harvest.

One which we tend to dismiss its importance and take each other for granted that everything is understood.

My love languages are Words of Affirmation, Quality Time and Acts of Services. So what's yours?
