AFTERNOON DELIGHT PT1: Love Languages; How to deepen your relationships through self reflection

AFTERNOON DELIGHT SERIES: We want to bring you ideas for better relationships. On part one we ask; Are the traditional five love languages still the best way to understand what we need in a relationship? According to recent studies, nearly 80% of couples who engage in each other’s primary love language regularly experience deeper emotional intimacy. In this afternoon delight, we explore the origins of love languages, breaking down Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Physical Touch, and Receiving Gifts, while also challenging listeners to consider how their love needs have shifted. Did you know that 65% of couples who understand each other's love languages report higher relationship satisfaction? Yet many feel that new love languages are emerging in today’s digital, fast-paced world. Could yours be ‘Arts and interests’ or ‘intelligence’?

We’ll discuss ideas for new love languages that reflect modern needs, shifting norms, and evolving values, helping couples connect on levels beyond the original five. Whether you’re fluent in ‘I love you’ or searching for new ways to express it, this episode has something for everyone ready to rethink love.
