What These 5 Love Languages Teach Us About God, Love and Liberation
Our purpose in this lifetime is to love: God, ourselves, our communities, and others. To be aligned with liberation, love can’t just be a word or a feeling. Love must be an action. We must learn how to love one another. Here’s a good place to start.
Words of Affirmation: Someone who values statements offering encouragement, gratitude, or acknowledgment. Affirmations can be verbal, written, or through prayer.
Quality Time: Quality time is being intentional in how you’re spending time with someone. Example: a 30-minute walk together, phones off, engaging in conversation.
Physical Touch: Physical touch can be romantic or platonic. Physical touch improves our overall well-being. Hug your loved ones more.
Gift Giving: While self-explanatory, this love language thrives when there’s a special meaning behind the gift.
Acts of Service: An act of service means going out of your way to do something that lightens someone’s load. Acts of service are never expected but always appreciated.
