53. [Relationships] How to Use the 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman
In This Episode:
Kalyna delves into the 5 Love Languages mapped out by Gary Chapman. These languages overlap and are unique to the individual. We all enjoy these 5 languages and possibly others in varying degrees. The exciting journey is to figure out what your partner appreciates most. We often love others how we would like to be loved ourselves. It takes the wind out of our sails when the other person just doesn't get the hint that we want that new purse, or a nice text in the middle of the day. It all comes down to what we value and how we have learned to show our love. If you want a different type of love, the best way to clearly get it is to ask!
1. Acts of Service - You take day to day tasks off of someone's to do list. You lighten the load of things your partner needs to do. Think house chores, errands etc.
2. Physical Touch - We know this one. Hugs, kisses, cuddling, massage and any intimate physical connection you share with your partner or loved ones.
3. Quality Time - This is undivided 1-1 time with your loved ones. Netflix is okay, if there's true connection happening. The only way to know if this is landing for both parties is to ask and see if they feel seen, heard and understood.
4. Receiving Gifts - This can be any sort of gift, whether it's flowers, an online gift card or a care package. This is something you make or purchase that's tangible for the other person to experience. It can be a day trip with certain excursions but it's something you've planned out or set up yourself (which would double up as quality time.)
5. Words of Affirmation - A text saying something your loved one appreciates or likes about you counts in this category! Any time you are affirming that you love and care for the person, or reinforcing what you admire or enjoy about them will be speaking this love language.
Remember, while this was first aimed at married couples, this resonates across all relationships and we should treat it as such, a guide to loving people the way they want to be loved.
Unsure of how your loved ones want to receive your love? Ask them! Or you can play observer and see what lights them up most.
