The Five Love Languages Defined

Do you know the 5 Love Languages? Here they are:

l. Words of affirmation – using words to build up the other person. “Thanks for

taking out the garbage.” Not – “It’s about time you took the garbage out. The

flies were going to carry it out for you.”

2. Gifts – a gift says, “He was thinking about me. Look what he got for me.”

3. Acts of Service – Doing something for your spouse that you know they would

like. Cooking a meal, washing dishes, vacuuming floors, are all acts of service.

4. Quality time – by which I mean, giving your spouse your undivided attention.

Taking a walk together or sitting on the couch with the TV off – talking and

listening.

5. Physical touch – holding hands, hugging, kissing, sexual intercourse, are all

expressions of love.

Out of these five, each of you has a primary love language which speaks more

deeply to you than all the others. Discovering each other’s language and speaking

it regularly is the best way to keep love alive in a marriage.
