How do I deal with a partner who has different love languages?
Relationships & Communication
Understanding different love languages helps you express and receive love in ways that feel meaningful to both partners.
Love languages are different ways people express and receive love: words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. If you and your partner have different love languages, you might feel unloved even when they're trying to show love in their own way. The key is learning each other's languages and making an effort to speak them. If your partner values quality time but you show love through gifts, they might not feel loved despite your efforts. Take the love languages quiz together and discuss how you each prefer to give and receive love. It's about meeting each other where you are.
