Writer and relationship expert Gary Chapman believes there are five main love languages.
Touches
Some people show love through physical contact. For them, the most important thing is kissing, stroking and other gentle touches.
They especially appreciate it when their partner takes them by the hand, hugs them, and touches them tenderly. Physical closeness allows them to feel loved, desired, and protected.
Words of encouragement
If a person’s leading love language is words, he or she needs to constantly hear compliments, praise, and support from their partner.
It is important for such people to receive verbal proof that they are appreciated, respected and admired. Words of love, appreciation and gratitude spoken with sincerity are the best proof that they are loved.
Present
There are also those for whom the word love is synonymous with a gift. Such people want their partner to give them beautiful, touching or practical presents.
And it’s not about money, because first of all, it’s the time and effort spent on choosing something special that is valued.
Help
It also happens that your partner goes out of his way to help you with everyday chores, perform important tasks, or do something else nice that could make life easier.
He expects the same in return, since he is one of those people whose feelings are expressed through concrete manifestations of care and attention.
Time
Finally, those people for whom the most important thing in a relationship is spending time together, highly value moments when their partner gives them all their attention and is nearby.
They enjoy quiet conversations, common activities, and the opportunity to do something together without being distracted by other things or gadgets.
