Love! Love!! Love!!!
"The founder of everything". The source of nutrients to every relationship. Yeah, you may express heartfelt to your significant other regularly, but do you truly present it In the way your partner wants it? Sometimes love might seem to be a mirage  When two partners speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?
Five Love languages refer to as different means of expressing love just as courtship in animals: word of affirmation, receiving gift, Quality time, the act of service, and physical touch, These are the five secrets to love that last.

Although people have different ways they prefer to receive love, Sunny Motamedi, a  marriage and family therapist quoted that "discovering you and your partner's primary love language and speaking that language regularly may create a better understanding of each other's needs and support each other's growth."

Here are the five love languages;

1. word of affirmation
People with words of affirmation as a love language value oral confessions of affection, entailing frequent "I love you's," compliments, words of gratitude, verbal encouragement, and often frequent digital communication like chatting, video calls, and others. All these expressions make them feel more appreciated.

2. The act of services
People with The love language "act of service" prefer when their partner goes out of their way to make them comfortable. Things like bringing them food when they are sick, making them coffee before they awake, cleaning up for them when they are tired.

Unlike people that prefer hearing sweet words, these people believe action speaks louder than words, doing things to make their life comfortable is highly cherished by them.

3. Quality time
  People whose love language is "quality time" Feel mostly honored when their partner regularly spends time with them or better still, they prefer going on a date with their partner. This love language is all about giving our uninterrupted attention to someone we love to have a meaningful discussion or future affairs.

4. Physical touch
People with "physical touch" as their love language feel most honored when they receive physical intimacy, such as sex, cuddling on the couch, and kissing. Physical intimacy is a very powerful emotional connector for people like this, they value the feeling of warmth and enjoyment from physical touch.

5. gift
Giving gifts is the most common and simply a straightforward love language. People with this love language Value receiving gifts with a visual symbol of love, they enjoy being gifted something physical and meaningful. It's not about the monetary value but the symbolic thought behind the gift.
