What Is My Love Language Quiz

What do we mean by love language?
The idea of love languages comes from Gary Chapman's 1992 book 'The 5 Love Languages', where Chapman posits there being five main love languages, each with its own unique qualities.

Chapman says love language describes the way that people like to express and receive love. 

What are the five main love languages?
Chapman says the five main love languages are:

1. Words of affirmation
2. Quality time
3. Physical touch
4. Acts of service
5. Receiving gifts

What do the five main love languages mean?
Chapman's book describes the differences and unique qualities of each 'love language'. (emphasis on the quotes)

A summary:

Words of affirmation
This love style focuses on verbal expressions of love. Thus, you feel most loved (and express your love for others)through telling others how you feel about them. 

Basically, you cherish the phrase 'I love you'.

Quality time
This love style values time spent together. You like to spend a lot of time with your partner, whether it's just hanging out or doing a special date together. 

Physical touch
This love style craves physical affection and doling it out liberally. Holding hands, kissing, sex, and anything where you can touch is how you show affection and prefer to receive it.

Acts of service
This love style focuses on doing things to try to make someone else happy, even if it means you have to sacrifice something. That could include keeping your partner's favorite ice cream in the freezer, taking time off work to care for them when they're sick, or taking out the trash.

Receiving gifts
This love style means feeling the most loved when you're given thoughtful or meaningful gifts. You also typically express your love for others by giving them personalized gifts.
