The Love Languages (Gary Chapman)

The Love Languages, developed by Gary Chapman, describe five ways people give and receive love: Words of Affirmation (verbal compliments), Acts of Service (helping or doing things for others), Receiving Gifts (thoughtful tokens), Quality Time (focused, undistracted presence), and Physical Touch (hugs, hand-holding). Understanding your and others’ primary love languages enhances communication and emotional connection, fostering healthier relationships. By showing love in the way that resonates most with someone, you can strengthen bonds and promote mutual understanding.
