Love Languages

#mondaymotivation I always thought I knew what my primary and secondary love language was. I assumed that being goal oriented translated to having little time for words and stories, I would quite frankly prefer action any day. I have come to accept that a person's love language is heavily determined by their current needs, desires, goals and mindset. Let me try and explain. For parents and caregivers, biological or not. There is at least one child that has your mumu button. Perhaps it is because of the innocence. Every word melts your heart, ever sentence sinks in deeply with trust. You can see through a child who is lying, who is scared, who doesnt want to share and so their words can echo as words of affirmation.

Now imagine a person who always valued quality time as their primary love language. After a long period of financial hardship, spending every day from lack of work with their partner while worrying about all sorts of bills. Given the circumstances will quality time still be their love language?

We need to look at the relationships that we value, that we want to keep and ask do I know their love language? If not ask and listen. Are you ready to adjust and put in the effort? Please know your love language, yourpartners, family members and friends, dont forget children.
