How conversations succeed
Do you know the situation: although you love your family more than anything, they are constantly arguing. Misunderstandings and bad moods are spreading in your partnership. Here is a way to better understand your own feelings and those of the other person.
Gary Chapman has put forward an interesting theory in his book "The Five Love Languages": Love is expressed in different languages. Each of us speaks one of them particularly well and therefore understands it best.
Praise and appreciation
People who speak this love language are happy when they receive compliments. Your love tank is replenished when you offer them loving words and sincere praise.
Togetherness
For some people, spending time together is particularly important. What you do during this time is less important. The most important thing for these people is your undivided attention.
Gifts
For some people, gifts are a way of expressing their love. They are not concerned with the material value of the gift. For them, the gift is rather a sign that you are thinking of them.
Helpfulness
Words are not very important to people who speak this language of love. They are more interested in seeing actions. They feel the love in everyday actions when you do them a service.
Tenderness
Some people respond primarily to the physical component. For them, signs of love are touching and caressing. You can show them your love with a welcoming hug or a gentle massage.
To build bridges between languages, it can help to know the language of your partner and family members. This will help you to understand how the other person expresses and receives love. This makes it easier for you to send out what your partner really understands. And, of course, receive the love messages that your partner is trying to send.
Have fun discovering.
