Will you be celebrating Valentines Day 💕🌹?
I thought I'd get in early to remind you to think of the 5 Love Languages (created by pastor Gary Chapman) so that whatever you plan will hit the spot.
It also helps to be aware of them at any time of the year 😉
Acts of service - those little gestures, like making a cup of tea.
Receiving Gifts - not always expensive, I saw this and thought of you.
Quality Time - no interruptions, having that meaningful conversation.
Words of affirmation - hearing I love you never gets old.
Physical touch - holding hands, snuggling on a sofa.
The idea is that you learn what your partners 'language' is and you share your love in that way. If they adore receiving gifts, you show your love by thoughtful gifts, spend time getting them just the right thing to show you thought carefully about what you chose. If they need words of affirmation, remember to compliment them, tell them you love them, share that you see them, acknowledge your love.
By understanding what fills their heart with joy you will immediately feel closer. On the flip side if you spend hours looking for the perfect gift and their language of love is quality time, they will misinterpret your gift as buying their affection. Getting the love language wrong can have repercussions.
So, do the most romantic thing of all and talk to your loved one about what their language of love is and share yours too. You may be surprised. I guarantee that when you are both aware of the other persons choice, you will be able to share your love more deeply.
And if you are not in a partnership this Valentines Day then identify your love language and love yourself, you deserve it!
Now you have a week to prepare for the big day - or just start now 🥰
What is your language of love?
