It’s easy to talk about things we love: Netflix, cats, pizza and burgers. What isn’t always easy is to talk about the way we need to be loved. One of my favorite exercise to do in a relationship is the Love Languages quiz. If you aren’t sure what that is, it derived from a book written by relationship expert Gary Chapman. He identifies the five love languages as Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, and Physical Touch.
This post is all about words of affirmations and how they can benefit your relationship.
Each person has a different style of love (or the way you want to receive love), and knowing which style you are can be beneficial for your current or future relationship. Taking the quiz at the beginning of any relationship can be extremely beneficial. It’s important that you learn each other’s love language so that you can love each other the best to your ability. If your significant other doesn’t know your love language but you expect them to love you in the way you want, it could lead to arguments or tension in the relationship.
I highly recommend you read the book and take the quiz, both linked above. If your love language is words of affirmation, you enjoy when your loved ones give you compliments and tell you what they love and appreciate about you. You like it even more when they tell you why they feel those ways about you.
If you know what your love language is, and it happens to be words of affirmation, this post will be great for you. Even if you don’t have words of affirmation as your love language, it is still beneficial for you to know some words of affirmation so that you can speak positivity into the lives of your loved ones.
