You’ve bought your wife the latest Apple Watch at vast expense and she doesn’t seem that happy. What’s going on? You may be using the wrong ‘love language’ (based on the book ‘The 5 Love Languages’ – by Gary Chapman). People feel loved in different ways: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service & Physical Touch. Often couples are using the love language that feels right for them but it isn’t their partner’s. Here the wife may feel utterly under-appreciated because her partner doesn’t say nice things often or never cooks a meal etc (if her primary languages are Words of Affirmation or Acts of Service), and no Apple Watch is going to make up for that. In fact she may feel ‘oh he’s just thrown money at it and doesn’t get me at all’. But this is bewildering to the husband because his primary Love Lang. is receiving gifts and naturally assumes hers is too, and he spent hours deciding on the ‘perfect’ gift. Maybe try to come up with ways of showing your love in the language your partner can appreciate? It might be an offer to wrap all the presents, a massage on Xmas eve, a zillion heartfelt compliments, a promise to cook dinner 3 times a week, tickets for nights out etc. A clue to his/her love language: it’s probably whatever your partner complains you never do enough of! Pls Like/Share … your other half might even take note. Failing that – Gin & Twiglets!!
