Quality time is simple enough. You spend time with your partner, putting all distractions aside. No phone, Facebook, TV, nothing. You chill and relax with your significant other. Talk about how your day was or what’s on his mind. Think of this as pillow talk. If you ever hear your partner speak on how he or she wants to spend time with you, this is their major love language and it needs to be met if you want the love to continue on.

Physical touch is not always sex. Physical touch is simply putting your arm around your partner. Holding hands as you walk in the store or the park. It could be a brush on the shoulders if they are working in the living room. It could even be a massage after a stressful day at work (or stressful week). Some people love to be acknowledged through touch-based off of their upbringing. Physical touch lets the person know that they are wanted and desired. It is also a sign of you being there for him. So if you ever hear your partner say “he or she never wants to hold me”, that’s their love language.

Gift giving is buying or making something from the heart. You don’t have to bling your partner out. By showing you spent the time thinking about him and buying or making something to express your love shows how much you love him. That gift will be more precious than anything in the world because you gave it to him with your heart and soul. Now if you can afford an expensive gift, great, but not really recommended. If your partner says, “Why don’t you buy me anything?” that is his love language.

Words of affirmation is simple. You give words of encouragement and acknowledge what your significant other does. You could say, “Baby, I appreciate you doing what you can to provide for us”. He or she will feel like a superhero and do more just so they can please you. The point is, we all want to be acknowledged for what we do and how we do it but for those whose love language is words of affirmation, it’s a whole different level. Try it out after you read this part. See how your partner reacts. If your partner ever says, “You never tell me how I’m doing”, that is their love language.
