The 5 Love Languages

The 5 Love Languages

In 1992, Gary Chapman proposed a deceptively simple idea: that people give and receive love in fundamentally different ways, and that mismatched love languages are behind many relationship problems that have nothing to do with love itself. His five categories — Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch — became one of the best-selling relationship frameworks in history. But knowing your love language is just the start. This hub shows you how to put it into practice: how to identify your partner's primary language, how to "speak" a language that doesn't come naturally, and how couples with different languages build extraordinary relationships.
