Your love language is super important in determining how well your relationship functions for you and your partner.
There are five long languages:
1.) Words of Affirmation
2.) Quality Time
3.) Receiving Gifts
4.) Acts of Service; and
5.) Physical Touch
When you are first start off dating someone you like, you naturally lean into your significant other's love language because it's natural that you want to please them and nurture the relationship.
But, over time, relationships experience ups and downs, and become stagnant. Each person has different physical and emotional needs and the result is the love language that nurtures your relationship can easily be lost.
This is why it's important that you first understand what you need so you can convey it to your partner, then secondly you and your significant other learn to discuss in clear terms what you need and what makes you happy.
