You’ve likely heard of the term linguagem do amor.
The theory of the 5 love languages has gained popularity online in the past few years, and many books have been written about it.
It stands for each individual having a preferred way of showing and receiving affection.
Our favored love language depends on the way we were shown love in childhood as well as in our earliest friendships and romantic relationships.
But it’s not all about nurturing. The type of person you are, also affects which love language you find most comfortable.
It’s up to psychology, specific sensibility and the stars.
1. What Are the Different Types of Love Languages?
As mentioned above, there are five distinct ways to show affection: physical touch, acts of service, meaningful gifts, quality time and words of affirmation.
Sometimes, it seems like you and your life partner aren’t meant for each other.
You keep miscommunicating, not seeing that each of you is doing all they can for the other – but in their own love language.
Your partner bought you a trinket they thought you’d like, while you’d rather they did the dishes?
Their love language is gift-giving, and yours are actos de serviço.
By learning which of the 5 languages of affection we prefer, we can more easily ask and receive it.
And by learning which our loved ones prefer, we can make our relationships stronger and avoid conflict.
2. These Zodiac Signs Express Love With Words of Affirmation
For some people, a compliment in passing isn’t anything to write home about.
And ‘I love you’ is a worn-out phrase, without much true meaning.
But for others, they’re crucial.
Of course, there’s more to this love language than just confessions and compliments.
Words of affirmation assume you encourage your partner verbally. They assume remembering that all your loving feelings are not always implied.
Your partner needs to hear them from you. Did you miss them? Do they look nice? Are you proud of them for being a good parent? Do you like being with them?
And no, needing verbal affirmation is not always due to insecurity. It’s just how they love to be loved.
