The emotional love language is one of the two new love languages. As we move more in a direction where people are looking for a best friend in a partner, rather than just a co-parent or domestic partner, it makes sense that this love language has come up. Research reported on in PsychCentral shows that building a friendship is important to relationship satisfaction. Having a deep emotional connection is a part of that.
One way this connection is built is by being there for each other through difficult times. If you speak the emotional love language, you feel most loved by your partner when they support you during trying and painful experiences. There’s a lot to be said for that, since research published in Social Networks and the Life Course found that couples who stick together in rough patches show the highest chances of lifelong happiness.
