Love is experienced in different ways and when we know ours, we also understand our partner's. That could help us create a meaningful, healthy and authentic connection.
It was the relationship specialist, Gary Chapman, who wrote in 1992 about the five love languages ​​and analyzed the different ways in which the feeling is expressed.
Theories published in his book The 5 Love Languages: The Secret of Love That Lasts propose to identify these categories through which people receive and express love, including words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical contact.
