“People have different ‘love languages,’ for some people, touch makes them feel loved; for others it’s meaningful conversations, or how much time you spend together. But if you’re married to someone whose love language is touch, you can buy them expensive gifts or take them on vacations or say I love you until the cows come home, but it won’t matter because it won’t mean love. In good relationships, partners try to figure out each other’s love language and speak it-even if it’s different from their own. Good relationships are built on mutual caretaking.”
