Love Actually… Has Five Languages

The five love languages are based on a simple truth: we don’t all experience love in the same way. Introduced by Gary Chapman, they describe the primary ways people give and receive love - and why good intentions don’t always land as we hope. I had Gary on Amy’s Table and learned so much from our conversation!

The five love languages are: words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts, quality time, and physical touch. Some people feel most loved through encouraging words, while others feel cared for through helpful actions, thoughtful gifts, focused time, or physical connection.

You can take the quiz to find out your love language, and share it with those you love to find out thiers.

Understanding love languages matters because love isn’t just about how much we care - it’s about how that care is received. When we learn the love language of the people we love, we can show up for them more intentionally and ask more clearly for what we need in return.

Taking the time to understand how others feel loved is a simple way to deepen connection and strengthen relationships, not just on Valentine’s day but all year long.
