SUNDAY ‘NOIRE: These Are The 7 New Love Languages
Appreciation
This love language expands on the original words of affirmation love language. In the original version, a person felt loved when they received compliments. In this new, more layered love language, a person feels most loved when their partner specifically states how they make their life better. So, an example of the old version might be, “You’re so thoughtful” while an example of the new language would be, “I don’t know what I would do without you. You make my life so much better in X, Y and Z ways.” The appreciation love language is about giving praise about how a partner specifically enhances their partner’s life.
