January 24, 2026 25. This Love Languages Test Changed How We See Our Relationship | Russian Comprehensible Podcast
In this episode, my husband and I take the love languages test together and talk honestly about our relationship.

Listen to my first episode about love languages: https://youtu.be/ZLmVqs2GHjA?si=-xUrjBXpUe9KNTOn
