Given that words form just seven percent of communication, you\u2019d have to wish that the King had a bit more in his locker if he wanted to take anyone\u2019s heart away. Confound it, then! Confound it all to hades and beyond! So if it\u2019s not just words, how are we to navigate and negotiate the not always \u2018hearts and roses\u2019 realm of relationships and love. To further complicate matters, the very \u2018language of love\u2019 each of us employs to show and receive love could be very different from what our partners use. Moreover, we tend to communicate our feelings to our lovers in the language we\u2019d like to receive love in, and this language may not be the language that they understand.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what the bestseller The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman expounds, and goes on to explain how there are five languages to give and receive love and affection. At least one of languages, in confluence with the other four, will ensure that you communicate how you truly feel, in a language or manner which your partner completely understands.<\/p>\n

Turns out words aren\u2019t utterly useless after all! In truth, it\u2019s those special words that hit the spot, quite unlike any other. Nothing mindblowing, just stuff like, \u2018I love you\u2019 and \u2018I appreciate how you did XYZ\u2019 will make this language work. The key here is to make it less mechanical and to attach some reasons for the expression.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Quality time<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019d need to put that phone down and turn that screen off if you\u2019d have to put this language to work. Providing undivided attention, adhering to preset dates, and regular family times will positively reinforce the fact that your partner is truly exalted and valued above everyone and everything else that\u2019s crying out for attention in your world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Receiving gifts<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A thoughtful and well-timed gift could perk up your loved one\u2019s spirits or even make their week! It goes well beyond the materialistic (so don\u2019t unnecessarily throw money at it) and has more to do with having your partner on your mind and going to the trouble to translate that thought into the reality. It\u2019s a gesture to cherish through the ages and then some.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Acts of service<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Being expressly told how special they are or how much their partner loves them just won\u2019t do the job for some folks. They need to be shown how much they are loved and appreciated instead. This can be done effectively by sharing responsibilities or chores, doing something to lessen their workload, or by simply doing something considerate.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Physical touch<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Physical intimacy is another language which is considered second to none to some partners. The tactile approach isn\u2019t only limited to your private boudoir escapades but extends to envelop handholding, some PDA and pretty much anything else that both of you are comfortable with.<\/p>\n

Well, now that you\u2019ve been suitably schooled in the five languages of love, find out which one your partner speaks, and get the conversation going!<\/p>\n
