Today we are talking all about the connection of gift giving and the 5 love languages. According to Gary Chapman, there are five ways we express and experience love –which he calls “love languages.”
The 5 love languages are: Acts of Service, Words of Affirmation, Physical Touch, Quality Time & Receiving Gifts.
In our conversation, we talk about specific gifts that are appreciated by each love language.
