All relationships have bumps in the road. But experts say you can make that road a lot smoother by making sure you and your partner are speaking the same language…love language, that is. Author and relationship expert Dr. Gary Chapman says the key to a solid foundation is to figure out your partner’s love language and show them affection that way.
You and your partner will fall into one of the following five love languages:
- Words Of Affirmation – Since this means your partner appreciates compliments, make sure you tell them how great they are often.
- Acts Of Service – If your partner feels most loved when someone helps them complete a task, jump in and give them a hand when they need it.
- Receiving Gifts – A partner with this love language feels most appreciated when they’re given something tangible…anything from a trinket to flowers to a card in the mail.
- Quality Time – This is all about clearing time in your schedule to be with your partner and not take that time for granted.
- Physical Touch – If your partner melts when you hug them or hold their hand, make sure you lean into lots of physical contact.
