The five core languages are: Words of Affirmation: Using verbal praise and encouragement. Quality Time: Giving focused, undivided attention. Receiving Gifts: Showing care through thoughtful presents. Acts of Service: Doing helpful things for someone. Physical Touch: Expressing love through physical affection.Misunderstandings occur when love languages don't align. Cultural differences exist; Western cultures often favour direct Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch, while East Asian cultures may be more implicit, using Acts of Service or Gift-giving. Learning to "translate" actions into the specific love language is crucial, especially in family relationships.MM and Dou's personal experience revealed our primary love language is Quality Time, valuing focused time and emotional connection. A story illustrated a mother's gift of a down jacket as an Act of Service, representing profound love despite initial misunderstanding.Understanding our own love language aids self-care and self-healing. Applying this to oneself helps understand how others, particularly parents, express love, which can help heal childhood 'wounds' from misinterpreted expressions.The key takeaway is to identify others' love languages and try expressing care in their preferred way. This applies to partners, friends, and family, including parents or children. Listener support for the podcast is seen as a form of love, specifically Quality Time, through shared attention.
