Not all relationships are rosy. Despite giving time and commitment, they fail to blossom. Many couples feel that they are lacking ‘something’ in their relationship. Despite sharing workload, finances, giving cuddly hugs, expressing love, surprise gifts, yet it feels like not being on the same page. However, in such crucial times, don’t let your morale pull you down. Instead, borrow some help from the popular book called ‘The Five Love Languages’ by psychologist Dr. Gary Chapman.
With this book, you will be able to dig the root cause of your conflicts. You will be able to identify “love language” to bridge gaps. Further, growing closer to each other by giving each other abundant love. So, let’s see what is the ultimate mantra and how you can use it to your advantage.
1. Physical Touch
Holding hands, a small peck on the cheek, a soft hug, making love, is a blessing if your partner is in a bad shape. Because every partner understands that touch and at times yearns for it. This expression of love is very endearing and can be effective as well. So, the next time, if your partner had a bad day. Then just reach out to him/her and give a hug. It will add positivity in their forthcoming days.
2. Words of Affirmation
It’s not about action every time. Because words also light up the mood on several occasions. A simple “I love you,” or “thank you for being with me,” can do wonders in life. If you feel that word of affirmation is your partner’s primary love language, then so be it! But use your words carefully. Because you never know what mindset your partner might be in. And he/she might just take everything to heart. Further leading to bitter fallouts. Amidst this, don’t forget to ‘praise’ or ‘appreciate’ because they give away positive vibes.
3. Acts of service
Every partner needs a bit of support then it could be for household chores too. So, why not undertake this love language – acts of service by helping them out? Try making breakfast, cleaning the dishes, dusting the floor, or folding the laundry. Such small gestures, pour in love and a realization that “I am being cared.” It’s not necessary to say “I love you,” all the time. But such acts of service strike a chord on a deeper level!
4. Quality time
The best way to shower abundant love on your partner is by putting the whole world on a “Do not disturb” mode. Engage in activities like long-talks about the day, future planning, career goals, or dinner plans; just to shower that undivided attention. Further, don’t turn a deaf ear because listening helps in building a stronger bond. So, the next time when your partner walks in, try to keep your work aside and show readiness towards their talks.
5. Gifting
Who doesn’t like gifts? Then be it birthday or Christmas eve. And in this case, a gift is a symbol of love. It doesn’t mean how big or small the gift is. But the feeling behind gifting whether you buy it, hunt it down, or prepare it yourself; should be thoughtfulness and affection. And if your partner is in love with this language of gifting, then it is your utmost duty to pamper and demonstrate your love with it!
Well, these are the 5 love languages to express your love and care. Amidst this, if you feel confused about which language is best, then you must take this quiz. This quiz might just open a whole new perspective on which language suits you better. It might clear confusion about your partner’s love languages. Above all, if you like different languages, then it doesn’t matter. Enjoy the diversity but keep the spark alive in your love life!
