Five Love Languages
There are five love languages:
Words of affirmation
Quality time
Physical touch
Acts of service
Receiving gifts
Speaking to Briefly News, Penny Holburn, a life, career and business coach, said it's important that couples know each other's love languages.
"I have seen people heartbroken in relationships because they don’t know what the other truly wants. "Holburn said many relationship problems happen because people have different ideas of what love is.
"One partner will say - you don’t show love to me. The other will say - but I do this and this for you. For the one person doing x means they are showing love. For the other partner it is not showing love. Two people can say love is important in a relationship. But each may have a very different idea of what demonstrating love is. "Knowing the love language of your partner is a very good way of knowing how your efforts to show love will be seen as love," Holburn added.Mzansi applauds the woman and shares their heartwarming divorce stories
