Love is Part of a Healthy Lifestyle

It is well documented that people in a happy, romantic relationship live longer. This is not really a new discovery, but something people have known for generations. What is new is that people are starting to learn how to show others that they love them, and the foundations of love.

There are five love languages, most have something to do with what we call romantic:

-Physical contact and sex
-Giving gifts
-Spending quality time
-Acts of service, helping with chores
-Talking

We all have a dominant love language and a secondary love language. However, our spouse will not share our love language. That means we need to learn how to tell our spouse what we need, but also learn their love language and work hard to make them feel loved.

The surprising thing about love is that it is something we give away, not something we receive. No one can make us feel loved, no matter how hard they try, unless we nurture love within ourselves first.

Any relationship can be saved, improved, and enjoyed if both people focus and are committed to getting back together both emotionally and physically, as well as learning their partner's love language.
