HOW THE 5 LOVE LANGUAGES TEST HLEPED ME BE A BETTER FRIEND

I can confidently say the women I'm surrounded by are spectacular. Each one confident, unique, loving, sensitive, brave, and funny af. In order to fall in love with life we have to fall in love with those we surround ourselves with. Be with people who motivate you to achieve goals, encourage you to openly communicate, and do what you once thought you couldn't conquer. Why?

There are many ways to show friends you love them. Each relationship is different because we're all different. Have you ever bought your friend/partner a gift but he/she didn't seem to love it as much as you did when you saw it in the store? Maybe all they needed post break-up were simple words of encouragement in a handwritten letter. You'd be surprised how often people misconstrue their own wants and needs to be the exact same as others. Below is a list of the research based categories of love portrayal. Take a guess as to which are your top two before taking the quiz below!

1. WORDS OF AFFIRMATION

Complements, Letters, Saying "I appreciate you"

2. GIFTS

A random gift picked up during the normal course of your day, For holidays, "Just Because" gifts, Handmade or Bought

3. TOUCH

Hugs, Touches on the arm, shoulder or face, Fostering sense of security and worth

(btw this is a New Girl reference. If you haven't seen it I HIGHLY recommend you watch.)

4. QUALITY TIME

Hanging out, Going on trips, Sharing Hobbies, Sports, Listening

5. ACTS OF SERVICE

Favors, Picking up the slack, Keeping commitments

Take this short quiz to find which are really your top two in the 5 Language Profile. P.S. – My two are Touch and Acts of Service.

Once you've found which way you receive love, this may mean it's also the way you like to give love. Everyone is different, so try your best to recognize how your friends/partners recognize love so you can show them in their language.

Enjoy your days,
