STEP 1: Read The 5 Love Languages and determine your love language. It will also be helpful for your spouse/significant other to read it, or at least to know what your love language is and what types of things are important to you.
STEP 2: Once you know your love language, ask your loved ones what their love language is. Most of the time if you give them a summary of each one, they can tell you which one is most applicable to them.
STEP 3: Start speaking their love language. When you are showing others love and appreciation, they will likely do the same for you. It may be a learning process, so be gracious to others for their willingness to try to speak your love language.
STEP 4: As you fill other’s emotional bank accounts, they will fill yours in return. If you aren’t feeling filled, be very specific about your love language and give loved ones examples of what that means. (If service is your love language, you might share that changing your oil or getting the car washed is a way you feel love).
