Learn To Love People The Way They Need To Be Loved
Because we all have different ways of saying, “I love you”.
Do you ever find yourself wondering how to love your partner? You know, the feeling of wanting to do whatever’s necessary to express your appreciation for them in a meaningful way.
If you’re anything like my former self, your response will be something like “all the time.” But there’s one big problem: you have no idea how to start.
Thankfully, there is a solution. In his book, The Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman speaks about the importance of expressing your love in a way that your partner will genuinely appreciate. Quoting the book:
“If we are to develop an intimate relationship, we need to know each other’s desires. If we wish to love each other, we need to know what the other person wants.”
