“What’s your love language?”, the term coined by relationship counselor Dr. Gary Chapman, might sound like a cheesy quiz taken out of cosmo but there’s a reason why it’s still around - and if you ask almost anyone you know they can either tell you their love language or at the very least, know what you are talking about. It makes sense and it works. In his book series, The Five Love Languages, Chapman says that we typically express our love in these five specific ways:
Words of Affirmation – You love speaking affectionately, praising your partner or telling them just how much you appreciate them.
Acts of Service – You’re all about action. For you, loving someone is about what you do rather than what you to say.
Gift Giving – You’re the type who shows your love by spending coins on special gifts, but you also like being on the receiving end of the gift giving, too.
Quality Time – You’re capable of letting go of distractions and giving someone your undivided attention, and you feel most loved when you get the same in return.
Physical Touch – You feel affection through physical touch.
We have pinpointed all the best ways you can show yourself love based on your zodiac sign’s love language. We also recommend you read your rising sign for an added bonus.
