How “Words of Affirmation” Level Up EVERY Relationship in Your Life! Ep. 230

We’re kicking off Valentine’s Week with a series on Dr. Gary Chapman’s 5 Love Languages. We’ll be devoting an episode to each love language and rolling them out every day this week.

Even if you’re familiar with Love Languages, this series is for you! We’re taking a broad approach to them by including their influence on our friendships and family relationships, in addition to our romantic partnerships.

Elliott and I explore the following:

• Why Words of Affirmation may be the most important love language!
• How to express Words of Affirmation even if you’re not someone who feels comfortable sharing your emotions.
• The difficulty of receiving Words of Affirmation when we don’t feel confident or self-assured—and how to learn to receive them despite our insecurities and woundedness.
• How to give Words of Affirmation to ourselves—and why doing so is a gift to our current or future partner!

Elliott shares stories of the impact of Love Languages from his 30+ years of working with couples. Join us today and throughout the week for a deep dive into the influence of Love Languages on every relationship in your life!
