When’s the last time you did something for someone else? Whether it’s reminding your loved ones just how loved they are or doing that chore they’re not a fan of, you’d be surprised by the impact you can make on someone’s day. The best part is, it doesn’t cost you much at all aside from a little time. Plus, seeing someone you love smile will be well worth it.
It’s easy to get caught up in our own to-do lists and sometimes it may seem like there’s no time to do something for someone else let alone, do something for yourself. But, it’s important to make time to nurture the relationships closest to our hearts because those are often the easiest to take advantage of. We could all use a reminder now and then to make the special people in our life a priority. It’s the little things in life that mean the most.

Acts of Service

Receiving Gifts
This love language is all about the spirit of giving. No matter how big or how small your gift is, it’s the thought that counts. A gift can remind someone, “Oh, they were thinking of me” or, “This reminded her of me.” A gift is a symbol of thought.
Quality Time
You know what they say… Time is money. Time heals everything. Time is of the essence. Well, when it comes to love languages, quality time means giving someone your undivided attention. No distractions, just the two of you.
Physical Touch
Physical touch is an important part of any relationship and is also an important part of communicating emotional love. With this love language, nothing speaks more deeply than appropriate touch.
Words of Affirmation
