American author Gary Chapman is most popularly known for his The Five Love Languages book series which zooms in on human connections and relationships. Gary emphasises that 'love is a choice you make every day, and that part of making that choice is learning how to communicate and express your love for your significant other, no matter their age or creed. It's important to remember that, while you may love someone and attempt to show that in your own way, this does not automatically mean your partner feels loved. Hence, the way your partner 'gives' love isn't necessarily the same way that you understand and receive' it.

Let's take a look here at the five primary love languages and what they mean for different individuals. Be mindful that your partner may have multiple love languages that intersect, and which can even change over time because of different life circumstances. Also be aware that your own love language might be very different to that of your partner. It's all about finding balance.
