Love Languages for Valentines Day

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, many of us are thinking about the ways we show our appreciation to our loved ones. As you plan to treat your partner (or yourself!) for Valentine's Day, keep in mind the ways they understand and accept love -- a.k.a. their love language.

The Five Love Languages were invented by psychologist Dr. Gary Chapman. In the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, we'll be shining a spotlight on each of these love languages to help you better understand how to express love to those around you. Remember that the Five Love Languages don't just apply to romantic love, but also to friendships, familial love, and self-love, too!

Today, we'll be talking about Words of Affirmation. If your love language is Words of Affirmation, you may be a person who says "I love you" often. You find it most meaningful when someone gives you a heartfelt compliment or leaves you a note to show you they're thinking of them.

To show someone whose love language is Words of Affirmation how much you care this Valentine's Day, try writing a meaningful card that lets them know how you feel about them.
