The 5 Languages of Love
What’s your Love Language? Here’s a book that’s been passed around the Loveflowers Ladies lately – we'd love to recommend it to our brides and grooms to be!
In “The Five Love Languages” Gary Chapman identifies five love languages:
- Words of Affirmation eg: compliments/praise/acknowledgement
- Quality Time eg: emotional support/moments of kindness/date nights
- Gifts eg: thoughtful tokens/surprises/a generosity of spirit
- Acts of Service eg: running errands/baking/fixing things
- Physical Touch eg: hugs/back rubs/Special Cuddles
Understanding which love languages are most important to you, and which to your partner can solve a lot of miscommunication, and save a lot of misdirected effort!
It’s a short and simple book, and we can think of plenty of other love languages (why stop at 5?!). However, it’s a great starting point for thinking of how we give and receive expressions of love, and how your FH may have a different primary love language. Some food for thought amongst the seating plans and wedding colours!
