The 5 Love Languages, as re-examined by Mr. Micobin
Love is a beautiful thing and
everyone wants to be in successful relationships, where we find happiness,
peace, fulfillment and love. However, relationships need to be worked out. People
in sweet and successful relationships worked theirs out. It is important to
note that relationship is 2-way traffic; we give and we receive love. So, it won’t
be bad if the initial spark needed to fire up your love starts with you and in
no time, your partner will emulate and reciprocate it back to you. It’s also
important to know your partner’s unique love language in order to know how to
refill their love tanks from time to time. Please take a moment to

1. Word of Affirmation: This has to do with praises, appreciation and
the expression of admiration. People love nice things being said about them. We
should be free to shower praises and appreciation at our lovers even for the
little things they do. “Honey! Hope you had a relaxing night rest”, “Sweetheart,
I love you so much” Never get tired of using words like these. Commend his/her
dressing. Everybody needs a bit of sugar coating in their lips. When you shower
admiration on your lover, it does something to his/her psyche thereby making
him/her available to you emotionally and otherwise.
2. Act of Service: It is a popular notion that action speaks louder
than words. If you truly love someone, you are going to do something for
him/her. When they are weak, you step in for them. You cover up for them. You protect
them in areas of their weaknesses and extend a helping hand when the need
arises. This should not be one sided. Both lovers should lend a shoulder for
each other to lean on per time. Sacrifice can never be separated from love. It is
a crucial ingredient. Be that superhero for your lover and vice versa. It is a misnomer
to profess love without expression.
3. Receiving Gifts: Globally,
this is the certified way of expressing love. We cannot do without it. The worth
of a gift is not in the size but in the fact that you love, respect and value
the recipient of the gift. Gifts must not always be offered on special
occasions. There shouldn’t be a timetable to it. Every day presents a window
for the exchange of gifts. You know what he/she likes; you could get it for
him/her while returning from work. It’s the major way by which people validate
the love being professed by their partners.
4. Quality Time: Love is frustrated when couples find it difficult to
spend quality time together. Make out time off your busy schedule for your
lover. There is no excuse or shortcut to this. Call him/her frequently, check
up on him/her. And when you are together, connect with each other emotionally. Show
empathy. Be actively present and not distracted by your phone or whatever. Go for
a stroll together, go have a drink, go to church together. Plan a vacation or
whatever. All these have a way of strengthening the bond between lovers.
5. Physical Touch: There are persons who love public display of affection.
So if your lover is such a persona and you are out with him or her, you are
going to hold them. You shouldn’t have a problem with this because you love
him/her for who they are. And when at home, express love with cuddles,
embraces, kisses or whatever way you perceive he/she likes. Make him/her feel
that you care through the warmth of your touch. Just the same way babies love
being carried and pampered, your lover longs for such too.
