Improve your relationships one language at a time
You love each other, right? So why does it feel like you’re not on the same page? The most common issue in any relationship is the communication barrier. Everyone experiences love differently, and it’s easy to miss the mark when it comes to showing that you care. With a little help from The 5 Love Languages®, you can learn to identify the root of your conflicts, give and receive love in more meaningful ways, and grow closer than ever. Your Love Language profile will explain your primary love language, what it means, and how you can use it to connect to others.
Ready to love better? Take the quiz and discover your love language today.
Once you have identified your Love Language and that of your partners, use the flash cards below to find real examples of how you can speak their language of Love.
You may find that you both have a primary and a secondary Love Language too.
