Love Languages

In recent years the concept of love languages has become incredibly common. Popularized by the book The Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman, the concept has helped countless couples develop a greater understanding of each other’s needs and figure out how to work together so that both partners feel fulfilled, satisfied, validated, and appreciated in the relationship.

The love languages, as outlined by Chapman, are:

  • Physical touch
  • Words of affirmation
  • Acts of service
  • Quality time
  • Receiving gifts

This article will look at words of affirmation, also known as verbal expressions of love. If words of affirmation are your partner’s love language, they will surely love the phrases we included below. Those with this type of love language feel loved and, most importantly, believe that love is real when their partners express their feelings aloud (or even in the written word.)

Even if words of affirmation are not your favorite love language, it is wise to learn how to express them in the way that your partner needs to hear them. Equally, your partner should make an effort to learn and master your love language so that you both feel happy, loved, and heard in the relationship.

Caring Questions to Ask Your Boyfriend

Relationships are all about healthy communication. Without a clear channel of communication, complemented by honesty, authenticity, and genuine compassion, any relationship is doomed to fail. However, when those elements are in place, the couple has an outstanding chance at lasting love.

Love is a verb. It’s an active engagement with all kinds of feelingspositive ones and primitive ones, and loathsome ones. 

Esther Perel

Here, Perel highlights how real love involves authentic self-expression. It is not about hiding away parts of ourselves that our partner may not like or that may lead to rejection.

The problem with far too many relationships is that we enter into a kind of status quo. We resist asking certain questions because we feel like we should know the answer or that to ask a question reveals a lack of awareness about our partner that may reveal a greater distance between the previously perceived couple.

Imagine a decades-long marriage with two partners who share the same space, the same bed, the same daily routine. For one partner to turn to the other and ask, how are you?, might seem like unnecessary small talk, something to fill a void when a conversation is lacking.

How could one partner not know how the other feels when they spend so much time together? The stress on the sentence comes in the middle—are. Can you hear that? How are you? To ask with genuine and caring compassion and empathy is asking the other partner how they are, not in expectation of a basic, I’m fine, but something more like, Well, here’s what I’ve been feeling… That evokes a deeper sense of reflection—something long-term partners may avoid due to too much familiarity and that dreaded relationship status quo.

  • How do you think we support each other?
  • How do we complement each other?
  • Can you describe me in three words?
  • Let me describe you in three words.
  • Is there anything you feel like we’re missing in this relationship?
  • If you could take our relationship in a different direction, what would it be?
  • Are you happy?

Love Poems to Read to Your Boyfriend

To My Dear and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever a wife was happy with a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.


I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.


Thy love is such I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live in love, let’s persevere,
That when we live no more, we may live forever.

How Do I Love Thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.


I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most need quiet, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.


I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God chooses,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I carry your heart with me by E.E Cummings

I carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)


                 i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you


here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Conclusion
