@cjko said in How do you say "I love you"?:
Are you familiar with the five languages of love by Chapman ? :) it's pretty amazing.. so, I'll be posting them here.
1.Words of Affirmation: Expressing affection through spoken affection, praise, or appreciation. Except ofcourse saying I love you if you want to exclude it here.
2.Acts of Service: Actions, rather than words, are used to show and receive love.
3.Receiving Gifts: Gifting is symbolic of love and affection.
4.Quality Time: Expressing affection with undivided, undistracted attention.
5.Physical Touch: It can be intimate activity or holding hands. With this love language, the speaker feels affection through physical touch.
You can relate to a few of these . Maybe you relate to all of them. But most of us have one or two that are much more important to us than the others, and it’s different for everyone.It’s obvious that we all show affection in different ways. These “languages” simply label those ways so you can understand people a little better.
If you ask me which language I can relate with, it's a mixed of 2,4 and 3. Although , I don't care much in receiving something , I express it through gifting. :)
How about you ?
I'd say I use 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I try to express my love in every way that I can so that way it gets felt and not forgotten:)
