When Love Languages Clash
Create a routine
You have certain habits you incorporate into your life, not because they are easy, but because they are rewarding. Do the same with speaking your partner’s love language. “Examples include: send a daily affirmation each morning to your love; set a reminder to yourself to send flowers or a gift each week or month; observe what your partner says, is working on, is passionate about, or what is needed around the house and carve out time and space to assist or support as your act of service; commit to a weekly date or time before bed or first thing in the morning for conversations, intimacy, and physical activity for the quality time and physical touch love languages,” Sorrell says.
