Accept The Love

Love comes in many different shapes and forms. There is the deep passionate love we find in others.

There is the love we feel our parents give us. There is love from our friends, family and more. We all have different ways of accepting and feeling the love others send us.

These next five types of love, are called The 5 Love Languages. Each of these main types of love acceptance shows us how we best receive love. These 5 languages of love are:
Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch.

Here is a quick debrief on each language.

Firstly, Words of Affirmation. This way of receiving love tends to circulate around being told we are loved or being told loving words.

Hearing someone saying these things to us truly affirms and makes us feel that we are loved.

Secondly, Acts of Service. When someone does things for you and shows you they love you, this tends to make many of us feel loved. In other means, actions speak louder than words.

So if your loved one is constantly doing things for you, this could really stand out to you.

Thirdly, Receiving Gifts. Whether it be a birthday gift, a surprise gift, or a simple out of the blue special something, some of us feel we are loved when our loved ones show us they care by giving us something.

This is not a greedy way of accepting love at all. Some of us may have a harder time believing when people use words to let you know they love you. But when someone gets you something, you feel and know that they care.

Fourthly, Quality Time. This love language is all about giving the other person your undivided attention. We are shown that by spending time with another, this person does love us. They have taken the time for you and only you.

And Fifthly, Physical touch. This love language is all about our need for contact from another. Whether it is a simple soothing hug, we feel most loved when another gives us the loving touch we need.

We all have our main three love languages but we also do have our one specific love language that speaks louder than the others.

By learning your own love language, you can help others give you the love and care you need.

This helps us love ourselves and give love to the ones we cherish.
