Teach Me How To Have A Thriving Love Lif...

About this episode

Love week is right around the corner so we’re throwing it back to this gem from 2021 where we dive into the five Love Languages, what they mean, and tips for dating each type.

ICYMI, The Five Love Languages was written by marriage counsellor, Dr. Gary Chapman, and has sold over twelve million copies worldwide! We’re not kidding when we say it’s been a game changer for people all over the world…it’s literally been on the New York Times best-sellers list since 2007! 

Dr. Chapman noticed that couples often came to him with the same concern: “I feel like my partner doesn’t love me.” Starting to recognize a pattern, he discovered that there were five categories on how people could give their partner the love they need: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch.

And these don’t only apply to romantic relationships. You can also practise self-care for yourself using the 5 love languages, and use them to form stronger relationships with your friends, family and coworkers!

Listen to our chat to learn more about:

  • How to practice self-care using the 5 love languages
  • The importance ‘Words of Affirmation’ play in making you feel understood
  • How to spend ‘Quality Time’ together when you see each other 24/7 or are in a LDR
  • Why ‘Receiving Gifts’ isn’t as superficial as it sounds
  • How ‘Acts of Service’ can make your partner’s day
  • Why ‘Physical Touch’ is more than just sexy time
  • Two easy ways to find yours and your partner’s love language
  • Cailyn’s top love languages and how learning them made her relationship thrive
  • Gill’s top love languages and how they can change throughout her life


We hope this episode helps you tap into your love language for you and the people you love!
