What's Your Love Language?

Ah, the love languages, each presenting themselves in different ways, but providing the same end goal. when we want to show our love to others it's looks very different for everyone. Though we all have it in us to show all of the love languages, we all have that dominating way of receiving and confessing our love and affection for others. For me, mine looks like Quality Time, there is nothing more that I enjoy most than spending time with a significant other. If you do not know the different love languages I will break them down for you and also provide you with a link so you'll be able to take the test and know your love language.
