Final Summary Many of the problems married couples face today are simply a result of feeling and expressing love in different ways. Learning the different love languages will improve communication in your relationship, thus boosting the emotional well-being of both you and your partner. Help your partner through hard times with the greatest gift of all. What's the best present you could give your partner? To give you a hint, it's not diamonds, flowers or a new car. It's the gift of self – which simply means standing by your partner, especially during rough periods. So, simply being there during those difficult times – like pregnancy or a career upheaval – is absolutely key. You'll be surprised what an impact you can make by committing to being present when the going gets tough.
