The five love languages are the ways in which we give and receive love. They are: Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In the above example, the man spoke the language of gifts when, all along, his wife had been telling him that she preferred quality time. In relationships, forget about the Golden Rule. Replace “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” with “Do unto others the way they want to be treated.” It’s applicable to business, family, and friends.
