Planning a Date with Chapman’s Five Languages of Love in Mind

Planning a Date with Chapman's Five Languages of Love in Mind

The best dates aren't necessarily the most extravagant ones. They're where you enjoy each other's company and create lasting memories. You can make this even better by applying the filter of Love Languages. The key to using love languages is communicating and understanding each other's primary love language. It's about the thought, care, and effort you put into expressing your love in a way your partner profoundly connects with. We like taking turns leading and planning dates!
