Doing your fair share around the house

Food

My DH is in tech so he’s always surprising me with gadgets and devices and setting them up for me.. so I always joke his love language is technology.

Cheese. And taking the kids outside so I can be alone with my cheese.

For me it's when DH plays guitar and we harmonize. I guess that would fall under Quality Time.

Letting me pick the movie.

Smell — although that overlaps with quality time and physical touch. I love the adult version of parallel play: closely sharing peaceful space, while we each read or knit or write or sketch or whatever, not quite snuggled up, but close enough to inhale.

I would say looking good for your partner

It’s both. Your language can be to give gifts. And you can feel love when someone gives you gifts.

It’s about what makes you feel loved.

Wait, RECEIVING gifts is part of your love language? Shouldn’t it be GIVING gifts?

1. Words of affirmation
2. Quality time
3. Receiving gifts
4. Acts of service
5. Physical touch

Though I personally don't buy into this approach because I have encountered too many people who have personality issues (maybe disorders, I'm not a psychiatrist) but will claim "Oh, it's just that my love language is receiving gifts!" But actually they are just very selfish. Or they'll claim their love language is "acts of service" only their acts of service are always inappropriate and unwanted, and they just have boundary and control issues. Etc.

So cheese sounds like a decent 6th category.

What are the first five?

If you were going to add to the already-existing list of five love languages, what would it be?

I think cheese should be the sixth love language!
