The video example above introduces the five languages of love. The five languages of love are words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts,  acts of service, and physical touch. These five love languages use both verbal and non-verbal modes of communication in order to effectively express love. Words of affirmation, an obvious verbal mode of communicating, helps to encourage or build up one's partner. Quality time includes quality conversations and thus lends itself to verbal communication. Receiving gifts is a non-verbal way to show love, and effort through their sentimental value. Acts of service such as starting a load of laundry while one's partner is at work to lighten their load, although non-verbal communicates effort. Physical touch like hugs and kisses are non-verbal in nature and is an obvious sign of love. However, everyone is different and thus, love languages differ from person to person. Individuals can have two primary love languages, one for receiving love and one for giving love.
