Mostly A’s: Your love language is physical touch! This can mean you like to be close to your partner and feel comforted by being there with them. You value the things in a relationship that sometimes can be shown more than spoken.

RESULTS:

Mostly B’s: Your love language is receiving gifts! Valuing this can sometimes be misinterpreted as you only care about material objects, but having gifts as your love language just means you find sentiment in objects that connect you to your partner.

Mostly C’s: Your love language is quality time! If you enjoy this the most, you can spend the whole day with your partner doing different things without getting tired of them, that being said, you both can understand when each of you needs alone time and you value that connection.

Mostly D’s: Your love language is acts of service! This can mean you like your partner to know and understand your needs and how to relax you when the time comes. You feel loved by little surprises that can benefit you or your relationship. Mostly E’s: Your love language is words of affirmation! Valuing words of affirmation just means that you think it’s nice to be appreciated out loud. Having your partner recognize things you do is validating and just hearing these things aloud shows that they care to you.
