I believe that Love is not a feeling but an action. It's important to show our loved ones that we care about their needs. Each person is beautifully unique and receives love in their own way. To create a closer relationship with your partner, children, and friends, it is essential to define what Love looks like for them. Once we understand what Love looks like to the crucial people in our lives, we then need to take the time to learn and speak their love language.


Keep Your Love Tank Full

A few years ago, I came across the book The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts and The 5 Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman. These books shared the secret on how to create a strong relationship with those around me. I started watching my loved ones, trying to figure out what their primary love language was.


Earlier this year, I found that they had a quiz! I was so excited. I took the quiz. I had my kids take the quiz and shared it with my whole office. Today I get to share it with you! Click here to find out what your love language is.


5 Love Languages

Gary Chapman describes that there are five different ways that you can show Love. You will find that one or two languages will be more influential and will fill one's love tank more than others.
