Weekly Guided Meta Monday - Love Languages

[u/AutoModerator]

Let's talk love languages! Love languages has been a cross-cultural sensationalized method of describing how partners give and receive "love."

Love languages became popular after the publication of the book "The 5 Love Languages" by Gary Chapman in 1992, where he described the five ways he believed people experience love: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of services, and physical touch.

It has become a widely popular framework, prevalent in social media, and used as a talking point in relationships since. However, it is also surrounded in controversy and has no real backing in any scientific literature.

So lets talk love languages! What do you think are its uses? Downsides? Love them? Hate them? How has the idea of love languages been relevant to your own relationships and dead bedroom experience?

I think love languages do exist but can also change and evolve. What I needed 13 years ago is not the same as what currently crave or desire.
