As some of you may have read, my book recommendation in September was "The Five Love Languages: The secret to love that lasts" by gary chapman. In my blog post about it, I mentioned the love languages. I'd also like to mention that for any one love language there is also the hidden teaching that shows you what would affect your partner the most to not feel loved. Just by doing the opposite of their love languages.
For example, in that book the love language of "Words of affirmation" really means use "Words of positive affirmation" to help make your partner feel loved. So the opposite of that would be words of negativity, mean criticism, namecalling, or no words in response to a comment/question they're expecting an answer to, etc. ...Those would be the strongest way to make your partner feel unloved, unwanted, or sad. Whether the words are positive affirmations or negative words, a partner whose top love language is "Words of affirmation" is most likely hearing the words repeated in their head even long after you've stopped the conversation. Hearing your words (whether positive or negative) affects them more than other people. So choose the positive.
Opposites of the other 4 love languages:
-The opposite of "Gifts" would be never receiving any gifts...bought or done by hand.
-The opposite of "Acts of service" would be not helping your partner out or fixing anything.
-The opposite of "Physical touch" would be not touching your partner (in a way that's loving to them).
-The opposite of "Quality time" would be not focusing on your partner
for a time period...not giving the person your attention or doing
something together where you connect.
