Love languages quiz: Understand how to make your family feel loved
Showing your love with your family is as important as knowing their love languages. Because even though you do your best at showing them your love, it would all go to waste if you speak different love languages.
What are the love languages?
There are five love languages: words of affirmation, quality time, gift-receiving, acts of service, and physical touch. Each is different ways of expressing and receiving love. When people show their love, it usually is how they want to receive it.
Gary Chapman, Ph.D., developed the concept of five love languages. He described them in his book "The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts." He categorized the five unique ways of communicating love based on his experience in marriage counseling and linguistics.
To know more about the five languages of love, here is a brief description of each:
Words of affirmation - verbal acknowledgments, words of appreciation, verbal encouragements, and digital communications
Quality time - active listening, eye contact, full presence, priority
Acts of services - action speaks louder than words, small and big chores done to make lives easier.
Gifts - visual symbols of love, receiving gifts
Physical touch - physical signs of affection like touching, holding hands, kissing, cuddling, and sex
