The Five Love Languages

You are here:

5 Love Languages by Gary ChapmanDo you know your partner loves you, but you don’t feel like they do? Try the Five Love Languages test by Gary Chapman.

The love languages are:

  • Quality time
  • Physical touch
  • Receiving gifts
  • Acts of service
  • Words of Affirmation

Once you have taken the test, identify how you like to receive love and tell your partner. You may want to listen to my video (above) to learn more about these five love languages and get examples.

Note that two tests are available:

  • Individual
  • Couple

You may have the same or very different results from these tests, so take both. This knowledge and small adjustments of behavior can improve – and even save – relationships.
