Happy Valentine's day, or as we say, Happy Heart Day!

In today's episode, we will discuss 14 ways we can express love in our family!

Have you heard about the different love languages?
#1: Words of affirmation
#2: Acts of service
#3: Gifts
#4: Quality time 
#5: Physical touch

The ways you express your love may be an indication of the love language you like to receive. 
We should also try to learn and understand the love languages of our partners and our children to be sure to fill their love buckets!
