Know your partner's love languages and make small (and grand!) gestures accordingly. This is a framework developed by Gary Chapman and is super useful in understanding how we each receive love differently. 

The 5 love languages are: 
  • physical touch
  • quality time
  • gifts
  • acts of service
  • words of affirmation

It is no use buying gifts for someone who would rather receive a handwritten note of affection. Knowing your partner’s love languages will serve you for the rest of your relationship.

Here is a survey you can do to determine your primary love language! Complete the printable assessment and discuss your results with your partner.
