The quality of our life is mainly determined by the quality of our relationships. The stronger the relationship is the better the life will be. If we don’t understand the language other is speaking we have a hard time communicating, similarly, if we don’t understand our spouse’s emotional love language, we have a hard time in building long-lasting relationship.
The first step is to identify and learn to speak your spouse’s primary love language. This is the key for long-lasting and peaceful marriage. Some people try to fulfill every wish of their spouse, but still find them completely unhappy. The reason behind this is, they fail to understand each other or they may never have thought about it the other way around. We can save our relationship if we can decode other person’s love language. Material things cannot fulfill ones desire for emotional love. As for some people compliments mean a lot because we never know if our encouraging words mean the world to them.
Sometimes we come across people who have a lot of problems and complain about so many things, actually, they do not ask for the solution, instead they just want us to listen to them and to be there for them; they only want support and a shoulder to rely upon, which acts as a medicine. For these kind of people the love language is ‘quality time’ among those five which have the dialect ‘quality conversation’. Similarly, for some people forgetting the birthdays or anniversary is a disaster but for some, it’s just an ordinary date.
