5 Love Languages That Help You Have The Happiest Relationship

Every person wants something different from a relationship.

And knowing what your parents, friends and significant others look for in a relationship can help you have a better relationship with them. Whether they enjoy receiving gifts, hearing words of affirmation, or just spending time with those important to them, knowing what is most important to them will help you have healthier and happier relationships.

My college roommate introduced me to '"The 5 Love Languages." By marriage counselor, Dr. Gary Chapman, the 5 Love Languages official assessment uncovers your love language and helps you begin to improve a relationship. Your love language profile will explain your primary love language, what it means and how you can use it to connect with others.

With Valentine's day coming up, taking this quiz and asking your partner to do the same, could help you plan the best Valentine's Day you've had in a long time. Even if you think your relationships is going great and couldn't be better, being aware of each other's love languages could make a great relationship even better. Or if you struggle to get along with your mom, or if you even just want to be closer to your best friend, this Love Languages quiz will help.

Click "Learn Your Love Language" to take the quiz: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/

The 5 Love Languages are:

Words of Affirmation - You respond to words of praise.

Acts of Service - For you, actions speak louder than words.

Receiving Gifts - Receiving gifts makes you feel most loved and thought of.

Quality Time - Their undivided attention means the world.

Physical Tough - Just being able to hold someone's hand is all you ask.

Dr. Chapman has also written several books that can help with happiness in all aspects of your life. From "Rising Above A Toxic Workplace" to "The 5 Love Languages Singles Edition" and "The Love Languages of Teenagers," Dr. Chapman has covered it all.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
