According to Gary Chapman’s beloved relationship book that millions grok, the five love languages are: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch.
I cross pollinated those (because we all need a little bit of everything to feel truly whole, right?) and built this lil’ web of ten more love dialects evolved from those 5 Mother Tongues—like the Romance Languages (heh) evolved from Latin.
I made sure to keep the phrases sort and open-ended enough that you can see your own relationships pulsing between the words—such is a style of a love poem. <3
I’m writing something up about my long-standing marriage (29 yrs last week). Even NOW I’m learning new things, including this. :)
