6 Steps On How To Understand Your Partner’s Love Language & Improve Your Communication Instantly

Things don't replace love languages. Gifts, money, showing off, random travel—none of this can be a substitute for deeply understanding your partner's love language.

Real love is figuring out how someone wants to be loved.

We have to learn to vocalize what we're not saying. Sometimes, what we're asking for isn't what we truly want; it's what we're not asking for that we want.

If you walked up to someone, and didn't know what language they spoke, and started speaking to them in English, but they didn't speak English—that's how it feels not to receive love in your love language.

Learning to love in the way someone wants to be loved is far more the definition of love than just loving in any way.

What our parents did or didn't give us is what we expect from our partners.

If you need it, and you're not saying you need it, guess what? No one's going to read your mind. No one's going to figure it out.

So many of our love languages are based on how our parents loved us or didn't love us.

Don't confuse apathy for simplicity. Being okay isn't being happy; being okay isn't joyful; being okay doesn't build a bond.
