Discover your Partner’s Love Language
Most people know that language consists of more than mere words – there's body language, for instance, and tone of voice. Well, the language of love is equally complex. That's because different people perceive love in different ways, and use different words and actions to express it. Essentially, we all speak a different love language.
So, just like being multilingual can be to your advantage, understanding the different ways love is expressed will help you build a strong, happy relationship. But this requires couples to devote the necessary time to discovering the nuances of one another's love language. It'll be worth the effort, though, because that's the surest route to filling your partner's love tank – a tool that will help you and your partner excel while supporting your relationship.
Misunderstandings arise even between partners that have known each other for ages. Usually, this is because one partner has incorrectly translated the other's love language – an easy thing to do, considering that, though partners tend to share a lot of common habits, they often feel and express love differently. It's uncommon for a person's love language to correspond exactly with that of their partner.
For instance, Mark and Andrea used to disagree on everything except the fact that they both loved their kids. Mark knew Andrea was a good mother, but didn't feel her giving him affection. On the other hand, Andrea knew Mark was a great provider and caretaker for his family but complained that his 50-hour workweek left no time for him to be with his family.
The problem?
Mark's primary language was physical touch and Andrea's was quality time.
