The 5 Love Languages is a premise created by Gary Chapman that explains that different people with different personalities give and receive love in different ways. Which makes a whole lot of sense when you think about how each person is unique.

The 5 Love Languages has become a tool to help people determine what their own personal love language is, as well as the love languages of their partners, children and loved ones in an effort to be able to love those they care about the most in the ways they receive love best.

If you haven’t heard of the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman, you can learn about them here and also take a short quiz to determine your own love language.
