Speak My Love Language

What is your love language?

My love language embodies simplicity. Start with a simple text just to say I love you. Wash my car because it’s dirty and you know I won’t wash it. Plan a surprise trip to the beach to watch the sunset because that is one of my favorite things to do. Cook dinner because food is life (and if you clean up afterwards, I will love you forever plus another day). Purchase an orchid just because you know that’s my favorite plant. Cuddle with me right before I fall asleep because you know I love being in your arms.

A sweet tender touch
Fills my heart with so much love
You speak my language

Performing any of those effortless acts reveals to me that my partner understands my heart and he understands that the simple things are the most important in our relationship.

These modest acts are usually the most memorable parts of any relationship. It doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to speak someone’s love language. Speaking your partner’s love language involves performing the acts or doing things that cost little to no money, but they are absolutely priceless.

According to Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate, love language is defined as how we receive love from others.
