What Is Your Love Language?

Hearing 'I love you' or 'I'm proud of you' A long, warm hug A thoughtful, unexpected gift Having your partner cook dinner and clean up

Undivided attention and deep conversation A handwritten love letter Cuddling on the couch watching a movie Your partner handling all the planning and logistics

Harsh criticism or cruel words Physical distance or lack of affection Forgotten birthdays or special occasions Your partner never helping with anything

Tell them how much they mean to you Spend focused, quality time with them Do something helpful for them without being asked Pick up little gifts that remind you of them

Dropping everything to help you move house A heartfelt text about how much your friendship means Spending a whole day doing your favorite things together A pat on the back or warm handshake

Hold you or give you a massage Tell you everything will be okay and that you are strong Take something off your plate Sit with you and just be present

A thoughtful, personalized gift that shows they know you A bonus, gift card, or physical reward A colleague offering to help with your tasks Your boss spending time mentoring you one-on-one

A beautiful, thoughtful gift A love letter describing what you mean to them An entire day of undivided attention Breakfast in bed and all chores handled

Receiving a meaningful gift that symbolized your connection Holding hands, embracing, or being physically close Opening a gift that showed they truly know you Sharing an experience together with no distractions

We do not spend enough quality time together They never say anything nice to me They never help around the house We are not physically affectionate enough

Hugs, kisses, and physical affection Words of encouragement and praise Playing together or reading to you Surprising you with treats or presents

Hug and be physically close Hear about everything that happened Receive a souvenir or gift from their trip Hear how much they missed you

They are always on their phone around you They stop bringing you little surprises or thoughtful gifts They stop helping with daily responsibilities Physical intimacy decreases

Your partner secretly completing a task you have been dreading A surprise weekend getaway together A piece of jewelry or item you have been eyeing A surprise massage or spa day

A public declaration of how amazing you are A photo of a special moment you shared together A photo of a gift they got you A candid photo of you two being affectionate

Extremely loved and appreciated Nice, but it does not move the needle emotionally Grateful, but you would rather spend that time together Happy, but a hug would mean more

A heartfelt verbal apology with specific words A make-up gift or flowers Fixing the problem or making amends through action A long embrace and physical reassurance

Cuddling and physical closeness Talking about your day with someone who truly listens Having dinner prepared for you Finding a small surprise gift left for you

Spend a lot of time finding the perfect meaningful item Write a heartfelt card or message Plan a shared experience instead Prefer to do something helpful for them

Tell you how much you mean to them more often Be more physically affectionate Spend more undistracted time with you Help more with daily tasks and responsibilities
