Every single person is capable of expressing love, but it's no secret that each person has their own way of doing so. According to Dr. Gary Chapman, there are actually five specific ways that people show their love. If you don't know how you specifically show your love, knowing these five ways may help you figure it out.
Acts of Service:The main aspect of this love language is action. You find love to be more about doing something rather than just saying it.
Gift Giving:For you, love is shown through giving and receiving. Whether the gift is big or small, this love language is all about expressing love through presents.
Physical Touch:This one is all about touch, whether it be holding hands and hugging or something more sexual. Showing love for you is all about being physical.
Quality Time: You want someone to devote their time to you as you give your attention to them. This love language focuses on spending time with your partner as a way of showing love.
Words of Affirmation: This love language is all about praise, appreciation, and affection through words. You want to hear and be heard.
So, why not dig a little bit deeper into our love lives and take a look into our horoscopes? Surprisingly, the stars can tell you much more about your life and personality than you may think.
