When Love Languages Clash
Lead by example
Before expecting a partner to love her in the way she needed to be loved, Sorrell first made sure she was giving that to herself. She led by example, which might be more powerful than simply explaining your love language to somebody. “I set out on a journey to experience each love language by providing it to myself. This has allowed me to explore myself more, create ideas, and fill my personal love tank first,” she says. “The experience has taken my self-care and self-love to new heights. What it has also done is demonstrated how I want to be loved and my capacity to love another.”
