  • The 5 Love Languages® by Dr. Gary Chapman has helped countless couples identify practical and powerful ways to express love, simply by using the appropriate love language. Many husbands and wives who had spent years struggling through marriages they thought were loveless discovered one or both spouses had long been showing love through messages that weren't getting through. By recognizing their different love languages, they witnessed the rebirth of the love they thought had been gone for good.

    Discover your Love Language

  • Words of Affirmation

    Actions don't always speak louder than words. If this is your love language, unsolicited compliments mean the world to you. Hearing the words, "I love you," are important—hearing the reasons behind that love sends your spirits skyward. Insults can leave you shattered and are not easily forgotten.

  • Quality Time

    In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, "I love you," like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes your significant other feel.

  • Receiving Gifts

    Don't mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous—so would the absence of everyday gestures.

  • Acts of Service

    Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an "Acts of Service" person will speak volumes. The words he or she most want to hear: "Let me do that for you." Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don't matter.

  • Physical Touch

    This language isn't all about the bedroom. A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder, or face—they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive.

  • Don't know your loved one's love language?

    There are several easy ways to find out the Love Language of your special someone.

    If you are using the iPhone or Android app you can input your partner's email address to have the profile sent directly to them. Once they complete the profile their love language will be sent back to you via email.

    If you are not using an app, simply have your partner visit http://www.lovelanguagechallenge.com/profile to take the profile and ask them to share the results. Finally, if your loved one is not able to take the profile consider answering the following questions about your partner:

    • How does he/she most often express love to others?
    • What does he/she complain about most often?
    • What does he/she request most often?

    Though our loved one's complaints normally irritate us, they are actually giving us valuable information. If a partner says, "We don't ever spend any time together," you may be tempted to say, "What do you mean? We went out to dinner Thursday night." Such a defensive statement will end the conversation. However, if you respond, "What would you like for us to do?" you will likely get an answer. The complaints of your partner are the most powerful indicators of their primary love language.

  • Is there a grand prize?

    The grand prize at the end of the challenge is a deeper, healthier, and more meaningful relationship with your loved one.
