we acquaint ourselves with The 5 Love Languages, a book
written by Gary Chapman.
So, what’s Chapman’s premise behind The 5 Love
Languages? It is simply to learn and understand that different
people with different personalities give and receive love in
diverse ways. And, the benefits of learning to recognize these
preferences, in ourselves and in those we care about, are that
we connect more profoundly and identify the root causes of
many conflicts. (5lovelanguages.com)
The 5 Love Languages are described as: Words of
Affirmation, Quality Time, Physical Touch, Acts of
Service and Receiving Gifts. (Note: We embody all five
languages of love, but one is preferred over the others.)
A person whose primary love language is Words of
Affirmation places a lot of importance on what they hear
verbally. Simple phrases such as, I appreciate you when
