Description

What's your love language?

I just found out about the "Five Love Languages" discovered by Gary Chapman. It really helped me to understand which love languages the people in my life and I myself are speaking. We all have different ways to express our love and assume that others feel and love the same way as we do - this can lead to many difficulties and missunderstandings.Β 
You have a first and a second love language. For me it's most important to spend much quality time together with the ones I love and to give and receive unexpected gifts that meet my character like my favorite brand of chocolate or a special songtext.Β

Chapman's work seriously helped my relationship for exactly the reason you described.


I have been with my husband since I was 14. Previously, I could have counted on one hand how many gifts he had given me in that time period, which did not make me happy in the least. When I confronted him about it, he was hurt, like why did I need him to "buy me stuff"? I tried explaining it wasn't about him "buying" anything. I wasn't asking for diamonds and gold! Heck, just write me a cute note and fold it up and leave it in the mailbox for me, no $ required!


Then I took the Love Languages assessment. I found out my primary love language is receiving gifts, and my secondary is quality time.


And then I made my husband take it. His primary is acts of service and secondary is physical touch.


No wonder we didn't understand each other. Our love languages are COMPLETELY OPPOSITE. I started thinking about it and realized while he never got me things, he DID things for me. I'd come home from work (when I was working 60 hours a week and going to school 25 hours and was exhausted) to find he had done all of my laundry and folded it, washed all the sheets so I'd have a clean bed to go to sleep in. He would clean the kitchen and wash the dishes so I could make my lunch. He was showing love in HIS language - acts of service. Likewise, I would get him little gifts - a keychain of his favorite character, a boba tea from our favorite restaurant, a new coffee mug, etc. - and be confused as to why he wasn't as thrilled as I'd be if someone did the same for me. (Turns out, "receiving gifts" is his absolute dead last love language.)

It's made a huge difference in how we communicate. While we do still default to our own language, we both make a conscious effort to use each other's as well. I've also encouraged my friends to take the assessment, because I think it is applicable in all relationships.

Asillan [2018-12-14 21:12:59 +0000 UTC]

To me, it's acts of service first, and then words of affirmation. Physical touch is a close third, but it has to come with one of those other two to really shine.

I'm aromantic asexual, but if these can apply to platonic love as well, then my languages would probably be quality time and physical touch.

These are very sweet little drawings!

As much as i fight it, recieving gifts is my first one, with quality time being second.


I try very hard not to be materialistic, but i just have to face the facts that I kind of am sometimes. haha.

The "acts of service" almost look like the grey/gray cat gave the orange one a cigarette; I know it was not intentional, but it just looks like one to me for some odd reason. Either way, you did a nice job with the art on all 5 of them.

I really quite enjoy and love this topic, since it's very important when dealing with loved ones ^^ my personal two love languages are Quality Time for #1 (yay for having the same one haha) and my 2nd is Acts of Service. Those two things REALLY show me that someone actually cares about me and my wellbeing and happiness. And it's generally how I show appreciation and love too (well I show it through Acts of Service and Words of Affirmation especially, but) it's definitely important to understand what someone else considers to be a show of genuine care. x3 OH and your drawings are so incredibly ADORABLE.

I just recently learned about the five languages of love myself. My therapist told me about them, and use them to illustrate how misunderstandings can work. It's funny how sometimes taking things back to basics can help us understand more complex issues in our lives.Β
