- The Five Love Languages are in fact informational, interesting, and tempting but some may wonder how can I apply these ideas to make my own relationship better? Well lucky Chapman has you covered with a few ideas that may answer your question. For starters, he suggests that you do some detective work in finding your partners love language as well as your own. Reminisce on a time when your spouse was very pleased with you, was it after you surprised her on your anniversary? How about the time when you told her mother how much of a good cook he was? If you know your spouse well enough you should begin to develop an idea of their primary love language. For example, lets say your wife's love language is receiving gifts. Now that you know her primary love language, lets start making plans to apply your knowledge to your relationship. Make a list of potential gift ideas that she may like. If finances are a concern, start with gift ideas that wont cost any money. For example, you can write her a love letter and put it in the mailbox or on her desk. If need be, ask someone close to your spouse like a sibling or best friend for better insight on gift ideas. Essentially come up with 5-10 ideas that you can commit to over the next couple of weeks. Its good to aim to include free gifts as well as purchased gifts for a better variety. More importantly, in catering to your spouse you must focus on the investment that you are putting into your relationship rather than just their personal desires. If used correctly and effectively you will see your spouse reciprocate emotional love to you in a love language that is more suitable for you.
