Ep 105: The Connection between Gift Giving & Love Languages

/

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.
