Did you know there are 5 love languages? Each person speaks a seperate love language so u might not be telling your parnter you love them in a way they understand. If someone said "i love you" in chinese i wouldnt understan but there are ways to show love without words. If you are in a relationship and dont feel loved then read on. Its great for people who are married and dont "feel the love" like they used to.. Give it a go Here are the 5 love languages and what they kind mean/consist of: 1. Words of Affirmation - i love you, tell your partner you care, compliments 2. Physical touch - (no guys making loooveee is not the only one) holding hands, cuddling, kissing, running fingers through hair, when walking past just run fingers along back 3. Quality time - going on a romantiv picnic together, when getting home form work spending 15 mins sitting and talking with no distractions (eg tv), confirm u r there to listen to problems 4. Receiving Gifts- from a simple rose out of the garden to a card you make to a gift from the store or a chocolate bar on the way home. These could scream I LOVE YOU 5. Acts of Service - cleaning the car, washing dishes, cleaning the toilet. Washing the dishes might mean more than a diamond ring if thats their lkove language Well hopefully that gives u a different vies on love and relationships and you can see there are many ways to say I love you. If your "love tank" is low tell your partner how he/she can fill it

There are really so many ways of saying I love you. Good you pointed out 5. Trust and confidence I think plays a great role also because I believe that if you don't trust the other, how could you love him/her.

Love is important and showing people you care is important. That book was written by Gary Chapman and it is really interesting. Its called "The five love languages" i read it ages ago, but it is something that sticks with you

Sounds like you've been reading Gary Chapman! It's an interesting theory, and I believe there are a lot of good points there. It's especially important to remember that people don't necessarily EXPRESS love in the same way they FEEL loved. It all does certainly explain how so many people swear they love someone, yet that person doesn't feel loved.

yeah I did read his book. I found it quite interested. I read it when me and my partner seperated and it explained a lot.. I just thought alot of people maynot of heard of Dr Chapman so if I quoted a few things from his book people might actually understand their partners a bit better
