Everybody wants to love and be loved. But not everyone has a happy ending simply because love is a complicated thing. It is not just about feelings and emotions. First, I have learned about the five languages of love: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service and physical touch. Different people have different perspective about love. People think differently. And so it is important to remember that the love language is different for everyone. Therefore, it is important to know your partner needs and basis of appreciation. In this way, one will be able to express his love for his partner. Before, I used to show love in a way I know I can feel loved. But now I have learned that my partner may not feel loved by the way I do it because it is not his language of love. The five languages of love show people that in order to express love; we have to focus in giving time and effort in order to know the person well. It could be words of affirmation which is about verbal compliments and encouragement; or quality time which is spending focused time to your partner; or receiving gifts which is about giving materials even not expensive or just the gift of self; or acts of service which is helping the other wholeheartedly; or physical touch which is another way of communication through touch. Love is not being selfish. Love is something we do for someone else. It is not only about our own feelings and needs. Usually couples or partners do not have the same language of love. Therefore, the best way to fill our partner’s love tank is to express love in their love language. This type of communication is about the importance of being able to express love to your partner in a way that your partner can understand. The five languages of love can help partners to connect with one another. Now, I know that even tough loving someone is risky; it can still be beautiful and lasting.
