The five love languages: What is your favorite love language?

Love is perhaps the only language in the world that does not always need words and phrases. It is because we can express it in different ways. There are people who are not comfortable with saying, “Te Amo”, “Wǒ ài nǐ

“ or'' I love you. Perhaps, it is uncomfortable for some. The five love languages is based on the book of Gary Chapman. He came up with 5 ways to express love. In some instances, we probably did all of these and perhaps sometimes it is difficult to do. The meanings I placed are of course my own interpretation but I included a link below of how he interpreted it in his book.

1.Acts of Service--There are people who show love by doing something for another person. Sometimes it is something that they don’t normally do.

As the saying goes, “actions speak louder than words.”

2.Quality Time-- Time is the new currency indeed and if a person tries to spend time with you, no matter how busy he/she is then it is a sign of love.

3.Words of Affirmation-- These are verbal expressions of love. You can say I love you indirectly by giving compliments or even borrowing lines from a movie. Phrases like, “You complete me”, stuff like that are words of affirmation, no matter how cheesy it may seem.

4.Gifts--I know some people who can’t utter the words I love you and they also can’t give time, but they can give gifts. Giving flowers or chocolates or even clothes is one of the easiest ways to express love.

5.Physical touch-- This one I do not need to expound further but some are affectionate . I know a few but sometimes being affectionate in public is not seen positively in some cultures.

I like number 2 the most. For someone who doesn't even have enough time to sleep, if I give time, it is my way of saying that someone is important at least.

I think my top two are Quality Time and Words of Affirmation. I need to re-read that book. It is good.

I read the book decades ago and took the test also. My highest was quality time.

Looking back at my life, I'm not surprised at this. Growing up as someone who got mocked and bullied, I strove to find relationships where people cared to be around me. I knew words and acts could be faked, and gifts could be given to me just to get rid of me. And, I was always getting physical touch in a bad way. So, that leaves quality time.

I'm not talking about going to a movie and sitting in separate locations for two hours, and then having flippant conversation about the movie. I'm talking about sacrificial time. Time is something you can never get back once you spend it.
