Surprises are all around the corner this Valentine’s Day but discovering your talent in expressing your love in different ways makes this day even more special and sweeter. Especially for your better half or the person that makes your heart beat twice as fast these days.
The five love languages describe the way we feel loved and appreciated. Check out below the ways you can express your feelings this Valentine’s Day based on the love language of your bae.
1. Words of Affirmation
Words of affirmation speaks about complimenting and affirmative words to your partner.
Start your day by greeting your loved one with the sweetest message. You will surely put a smile on their face as soon as they opened their eyes. Flutter your special someone’s heart by complimenting their looks and how handsome and beautiful they are.
Do not forget to make your partner feel secure during the times they need someone and assure them that you will always see their beauty despite flaws and imperfections.
2. Acts of Service
This love language expresses affection through actions or doing things that your partner may like.
Nothing can beat a love that shows effort. Your partner will surely feel so overwhelmed and loved to see you cooking something for dinner, or being with them while doing their errands. Expressing your love does not always about sweet and colorful words, it can be expressed even in the simplest action. Who does not want someone who will bring you a freshly cooked soup when you are sick, right?
3. Receiving Gifts
Receiving gifts simply means giving material things as present to your special someone.
Sometimes, gifts can also make your partner feel they are appreciated and preparing a simple one is more than enough for them. Gifts do not necessarily have to be expensive for your special someone. Even a single rose, his favorite book, a ticket to a museum or a local band concert will surely make your partner happy.
4. Quality Time
This kind of love language deals with the time and attention you can give to your partner in the days and events of your life as couples.
Living in this busy and fast-paced world may occupy most of your time, from work to family to graduate studies. Spending some of your time or allotting a day with your partner is nothing but pure love. You can share your stories, how you spend your day, and talk about your long term goals and dreams. You will be surprised with how fast time passed by when you’re talking to the person that you love.
5. Physical Touch
This love language refers to touch and affection you can give to someone as a form of expression of your love.
Expressing your feelings and how important the person is to you should not just be confined with words and, actions, gifts and time but also in showing it through physical touch. A cuddle during cold weather in this month of February while watching your favorite movie is something to look forward to or seriously consider. Holding their hands during a walk outside is also a great way of showing you are with them and that you always feel secure. Even a goodnight kiss can make your partner’s day wonderful and complete.
It doesn’t matter how you express your love in your own love language as long as both of you are happy and contented. You can even show what you really feel with one or two of the languages listed. All because love knows no boundaries. May your “Love Month” be filled with happiness and contentment.
Let us spread love, mga Kapuso!
