Do You Love Well?

Popular misunderstanding about love languages:

The way you feel love is by default the way you love the best. Example: You feel loved the best by someone offering acts of service, so you are exceptionally good at serving others. Cooking dinner, washing the car, doing the laundry, etc.

BUT…if the person you love’s love language is touch and all you do is fold their laundry and go to the grocery store, but never hold their hand or snuggle in the couch, you’re not loving effectively.

So if it matters how your human feels loved the best, and you want them to feel the way you love them the most, love them in the language THEY feel loved, which may not be the same way you do.

If you’re just no good at or unwilling to love the way someone else best feels it, get you a human who speaks and receives the same language as you do so you don’t suffocate your partner.

The 5 Love Languages are:
Touch, time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service
