The Five Love Languages (Gary Chapman)

The Five Love Languages, by Gary Chapman, describe different ways people express and feel love. They are Words of Affirmation (kind words), Acts of Service (helping others), Receiving Gifts (giving meaningful presents), Quality Time (focused attention), and Physical Touch (affectionate contact). Understanding your partner’s primary love language helps improve communication and strengthen your relationship. When partners express love in their loved one's preferred way, feelings of connection and appreciation deepen. Recognizing these languages fosters empathy and ensures love is conveyed in ways meaningful to each individual.
