“As long as it’s done in an atmosphere which is loving and not oppressive, physical touch can be the most effective of the love languages. “Be intentional about finding ways to express your love using physical touch: giving hugs, touching their arm or hand during a conversation offer to give a neck or back rub,” says Chapman.Īccording to Tessina, physical touch is the most direct way to communicate love. People who speak this love language thrive on any type of physical touch: hand-holding, hugs and pats on the back.
“It says you want to make your home and relationship more livable and you want to ease your partner’s burden,” she adds. Simple things like making breakfast in bed or walking the dog demonstrate you care about your partner and your life together, says Tessina. Stumped as to what your partner needs? Chapman suggests asking your partner to give ideas for things they’d like you to do that would make their life easier and make a schedule to get them done. This language includes anything you do to ease the burden of responsibility, like vacuuming the floors, going grocery shopping or sending thank-you notes. The act of giving a gift tells your partner you cared enough to think about him or her in advance and go out of your way to get something to make your partner smile, says Tessina. “Think about finding a gift that your partner has been asking for or would enjoy receiving and plan for a special way of giving it make it a surprise.” “The thing that works best is picking the right gift that shows you understand your partner and the effort you made to express love,” says Chapman. In short, actions speak louder than words. The person who loves this language thrives on the love, thoughtfulness and effort behind the gift. Other examples include preparing dinner together and talking while preparing and eating it, sharing plans for the future, making love and/or creating something together. “Spending time with your partner is about being together, paying attention to each other, sharing something meaningful together and listening and communicating,” adds Tessina. That means no TV, no chores, no cell phone - just giving each other your undivided attention. This language, says Chapman, is all about giving your partner your undivided attention.
Other examples from Tessina include saying things like: “Thank you,” “That was nice of you” and/or “I appreciate what you did.” According to Chapman, people with this love language need to hear their partner say, “I love you.” Even better is including the reasons behind the love through leaving them a voice message or a written note or talking to them directly with sincere words of kindness and affirmation.
