We all interact with the world in ways that are as unique as ourselves.
There are thinkers and feelers, introverted and extroverted people, highly sensitive and intuitive people as well as endless other ways of processing the world around us.
It’s no surprise then to discover that we each give, receive, and understand love in different ways. Although there are as many love “dialects” as there are people, there are five main love languages we use to communicate: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.
The 5 Love Languages® by Dr. Gary Chapman presents the idea that we each have an “emotional love tank” that constantly needs replenishing. When our emotional tank is empty, we feel unloved, unappreciated, and our relationships don’t reach their full potential.
Most problems in our relationships with other people come from speaking in different love languages, whether that be with your partner, friend or even child. For example, your husband/wife might complain to you that you “don’t spend enough time with him/her” when you communicate your love through acts of service.
In this free love languages test, you’ll find out what your primary love language is. Discovering your love language will help you to communicate with others how you prefer to receive love.
You might also like to encourage your loved one’s to take this love languages quiz so that you can find out how to speak their love language as well.
Words of affirmation: Have craved these since birth. I don’t know what to do. I feel like a puppy in a dog show, rolling over and doing tricks but getting no natural results. When they’re offered to me, it is because someone is trying to flatter me to get ca$h.
“Oh, you know, your grandmother and I are so proud of you. She always talks about how you’re the only person in our family with a PhD from a highly ranked university, speak four languages, have traveled all over the world to model and exhibit her work as an internationally recognised visual artist whose work is displayed in Michelin starred restaurant. Uhmm… I need $6000 to pay my dental bills because I had a fancy gum cleaning from Madonna’s dentist.”
True story.
Quality time was my result on the quiz and I do wish I had more of it with my boyfriend
These are truly great
Love lonerwolf.com– extremely informative and lots to consider!
while in therapy over the years I learned that the things we crave in our relationships are the things we didn’t get from our parents, so we seek out someone who ‘WON’T be able to give us what we want most, my love language is physical touch, my parents were not very affectionate, I don’t have memories of being hugged or held, no memories of affection. my husband took the test also, his love language is affirmation, and for some reason I am not able to constantly compliment or stroke his ego.. he is not very touchy or affectionate toward me..the one thing I crave most in our relationship
Hmmm very interesting, but tell me how you really feel… Feelings we all have so many feelings! Feelings are so ethereal & temporal. Which is why I make all important life decisions on them :) And not logic and resting thought as the school of life had taught.
But seriously I really strongly disagree with your years of therepy. My parents exuded all 5 to of love to us 3 kids, with Gifts being the least emphasized. And as I approach 50years I truly agree with that sentiment.
My language O Dë £ove is: Touch
And my only wife of 26years is: Touch
I had a fairly ideal upbringing with lots of affection encouragement and positivity.
My parent most definitely expressed their love in this manner in addition to the all others, even though their love languages are: Acts o’ “at yer service!” & Quality Tyme.
So I am under the inclination that the therepy time you expirenced is going for a one-size-fits-all approach, or perhaps applicable to a more negative growing up expirence.

Love it
My answer for this test was soooo right! Hugs to the world!
So glad to hear that Sakib! <3
1 Acts of Service (I will love you passionately if you take it upon yourself to do the dishes, take out the trash, keep the house clean/tidy, massage me, etc. … – if you can do that, prepare for a steamy night ☺)
2 Quality Time (just having your undivided attention and spending time doing something fun together makes me happy)
Haha so true!
