Chances are you’ve probably heard the phrase “5 Love Languages.” Gary Chapman’s book inspired a revolution in how we think about expressing, receiving, and giving love.
In my interview with Paul Zolman, he shared his inspiration behind creating the Role of Love Die (a dice with the 5 love languages on it) as a way to intentionally practice giving love.
The 5 Love Languages are:
- Words of Affirmation: People with this love language feel loved and appreciated when they receive verbal compliments, words of encouragement, and affectionate words. Simple expressions like “I love you,” “You mean a lot to me,” or praise for their efforts make them feel cherished.
- Acts of Service: For individuals with this love language, actions speak louder than words. They feel loved when their partner performs acts of service to help them or make their life easier. This can include doing chores, running errands, or any other actions that demonstrate thoughtfulness and effort.
- Receiving Gifts: This love language is about receiving gifts. They value tangible symbols of love and affection. These gifts don’t have to be extravagant; it’s the thought and effort that count. Thoughtful gifts, even small ones, make them feel loved and appreciated.
- Quality Time: Quality time is the primary love language for some individuals. They feel most loved when they have their partner’s undivided attention. This means spending meaningful time together, having conversations, going on dates, or engaging in activities that allow for a strong emotional connection.
- Physical Touch: Physical touch is the love language of those who feel most loved through physical affection. This can include hugs, kisses, holding hands, cuddling, and other forms of physical intimacy. The warmth and closeness of physical touch are essential to them.
In order to become a Love Language Linguist all you have to do is practice giving these 5 Love Languages away – and that is where the Dice comes in.
Here’s what you have to do –
🎲 Roll the die every day
🎲🎲 Take note of the Love Language rolled
🎲🎲🎲 Practice giving away that form of love all day to everybody
By giving love away in different love languages, you improve your ability to perceive love, accept love & give love. It’s a win-win, after all – love only multiplies when we share it.
If you don’t have access to the Role of Love Dice, you can always practice Love Stretching or the Cherish Time activity.
