What are the 5 love languages and what do they mean? Let’s try and figure it out. We’re here to help you decode them to understand the different ways people express love.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a lot of things that we are never taught while growing up – things that are never included in the school coursework, and even though we do get hits of it at home, there’s no conscious learning of the matter. One such thing is knowing about ‘Love Languages’.<\/span><\/p>\n

Growing up in an urban middle-class Hindu family, I’ve always attended weddings that had more of worshipping Gods & Goddesses, rather than delving deeper into the love of the bride & the groom. <\/span><\/p>\n

It took me years to understand that marriage is something beyond those rituals. A few years back, I was attending a friend’s sister’s wedding where things were much more simplistic, and they let the guests know the bride & the groom more closely. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was then when I got to learn about Gary Chapman’s famous book – The 5 Love Languages.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Returning back home, I ordered the book and was hooked to it for the next couple of days. <\/span><\/p>\n

Well, to be honest, it was making me realize how we actually express our feelings of love and also make me understand others’ gestures in a better light.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what is a \u201clove language,\u201d and how understanding it might help our relationships?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

After many years of counseling couples in crisis, Chapman says, \u201cIt became apparent to me that what makes one person feel loved isn\u2019t always the same for their spouse or partner,\u201d he explains. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI discovered every person understands and receives love in a specific language, one of five to be precise. The other four are just as important and offer [other] ways to express love to each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The book 5 love languages<\/strong> describe the way we feel loved and appreciated. Depending on our individual personality types, we may feel loved differently than how our partners do. <\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding and decoding these different ways of showing love will help take the guesswork out of your partner\u2019s expectations and needs.<\/span><\/p>\n
