Five languages of love

What feels like an expression of love for one person may have little meaning for another. For example, my girlfriend's #1 love language is receiving gifts (from me). They don't have to be big gifts; she is touched by any gift that I put a little thought into. In contrast, gifts are the last on the list for me. Ho...hum...another gift. My #1 love language is touch. And my second is words of affirmation.

​

Here's quick summary of the five love languages, according to Gary Chapman:

​

• receiving gifts

• quality time

• words of affirmation

• acts of service (devotion)

• and physical touch

​

These love languages are not mutually exclusive. What's important to know is their order of importance for the person you care about?
