SUNDAY ‘NOIRE: These Are The 7 New Love Languages
Practical
The practical love language is a new version of the acts of service one. This new love language assumes that all duties in the household belong to everyone, and acknowledging/showing that feels loving. So it’s less about “Rub my feet” or “Do my laundry for me” and more about “Carry your weight/do your part in our shared duties.”
The same Pew Research survey showing shared interests mattered in marriage also found that over half of couples say sharing household duties is very important. This remained true for couples who do not have children.
