The idea of love languages is that we all express love in different ways and that others may not do the same. There hasn't been a lot of research done to back that up.
According to a survey of 100 heterosexual couples, people who use love languages they prefer to receive reported higher levels of relationship and sexual satisfaction.
You're likely to get more satisfaction out of the relationship if you express love in a way that's pleasing to your partner. This sample shows that it's a win-WIN situation.
According to the researchers, people who better match their preferences for love languages are more satisfied with their sex lives.
The author and talk show host Gary Chapman wrote a book in the early 1990s about the five main love languages. Chapman said that we need to be loved using the languages we like.
Chapman's proposition came from personal experience. There hasn't been much research into whether it has merit or not.
There is a clear link between the use of love languages and increased satisfaction in relationships.
The same correlation was found in both men and women, although female volunteers scored more highly in terms of expressing a need to feel loved. Women are more likely to notice the application of love languages than men are.
The researchers said that men are more focused on fulfilling the social role of being in a committed relationship than specific affectionate behaviors.
The link between higher levels of empathy and a higher likelihood of using their partner's preferred love language was not found in the survey responses.
The study participants were between the ages of 17 and 58 and had been together for at least 6 months. The researchers did not find a correlation between the length of a relationship and whether or not people knew their partner's love language.
The researchers think that their results are likely to be the same across other sexualities as well. It's possible to improve relationships by focusing on the love languages of others.
The novel way to assess matching for love languages presented in the present paper may be important for the research into romantic relationships.
Practical implications for marital and family counseling, as well as for laymen who want to improve the quality of their relationship, are provided by them.
The research is in a journal.
