We’ve all heard of them: the five love languages. (At least, single people have. Our married bosses hadn't.)
Can you name them? Again, if you're single, probably.
Words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch.
They’re the relationship buzzwords plastered across self-help articles and whispered in hushed tones among people -- usually singles -- trying to navigate the murky waters of romance. But lately, I've been pondering something: are these so-called "love languages" actually a helpful framework for understanding connection or are they just a fancy way of saying, "Do this specific thing or I won't feel loved?"
