Understanding Love Languages

People are always wondering what their “love language is”. Well the truth is there isn’t just one or two that you need to make your relationship last. So let me tell you what these Love Languages are in full!

We have 5 love languages

1. Caring Gestures

   Now, don't get me wrong, I know women nowadays are independent and I know how much work it must be for a woman to have to come back from work and start working again at home but if your man wants to take care of you, let him. You can not continue in a relationship with someone you claim you love and not do things for them that makes their life easier and comfortable. A man in love wants to give his woman the world, so let him. And do things for him as well, show him he is loved and cared for. Love is doing life together, serving each other.

1. Dedicate time

   No bond can last for long without time well spent together. You have not entered into a relationship/marriage to be sidelined and deserted. I know that the world has changed a lot as opposed to my time. But do not forget to give your love, time. Why are you with anyone if you are not their priority and they don’t have time for you? Remember that time waits for no one. If you can't go out then stay at home and watch a film together, talk about your day, talk about the future with your partner, talk about things that have been in your mind lately, comfort your partner when they are feeling sad. Make sure this is not done only when you are newly married but also when you have 3-4 kids running around the house.

1. Receiving gifts

   A man who is deeply in love with his woman wants to give her all kinds of gifts. No one other than you two know what each other's needs are. Whether he has an important football match coming up and he needs a Manchester United branded jersey, or she needs a laptop for her studies. Gifts don’t have to be expensive, it's the thought that matters. And boys, remember if she wants to exchange it for something better then let her do it. Buying her a four wheeler for comfortable travel, laptop for her work.

1. Physical touch

   In a marriage, you will sleep , make love, hug .One does not want to be touched only when Sex is the agenda. Hold hands, stare into each other's eyes, give a simple kiss on the forehead. It is small things like this that speak louder than words. Happy is the Woman whose Man knows how to make love to her without leaving her suspicious of a selfish motive.

1. Words of Encouragement

   Your partner will need you to affirm them. Love is kept alive by affirmations. It is why we say "I love you", why we respond well to compliments no matter who we are or how old we are. When there will be tough days, which there will be many, we will need our partner to remind us we are great and we will make it. People who say "I don't need to be affirmed", most likely grew up without anyone appreciating them and so have learnt to numb up and not expect it. It is why during funerals, sadly we pour out our hearts and affirm the ones we love when they are dead yet we fail to do so when they are alive.

Don’t forget that all these things are important to make your marriage/relationship last long.
