In honor of Valentine's Day, we’re breaking down the five ways people give and receive love. Which one resonates most with you?
🔹 Words of Affirmation: Compliments and "I love yous" go a long way.
🔹 Acts of Service: Nothing says "I care" like taking a load… off someone’s plate.
🔹 Receiving Gifts: It’s the thought and effort behind the token that counts.
🔹 Quality Time: Undivided attention is the best gift you can give.
🔹 Physical Touch: A hug or holding hands speaks volumes.
Knowing your own language (and your partner's) helps ensure everyone feels seen and appreciated—not just today, but every day.
