Which Love Language Suits You and Your Partner? | World of Psychology

The Five Love Languages argues that people express love in different ways, and people feel loved in different ways. These five types of expression and perception are the five “love languages.” According to Chapman, people feel loved when a partner expresses love in the language that is natural to the recipient. If love is expressed in a different language, that message of love isn’t received.

The five “languages” are:

  1. Words of Affirmation
  2. Quality Time
  3. Receiving Gifts
  4. Acts of Service
  5. Physical Touch (not the same as sex)

Kergan Edwards-Stout: An Open Letter to Rick Santorum

Dear Mr. Santorum,

You were recently quoted as saying that a jailed parent would be better for a child than being raised by a same-sex couple.

Can any of us sit by as someone like this runs for the leader of the United States of America. Can we let blatant ignorance run this country?

You may be grieving the death of a loved one, or the end of a friendship you had hoped would be more, or merely the realization that your father will never be able to give you what you need from that relationship.

2) Trust the process
3) Expect regression
4) Lose control
