Love being in actions and not words will depend!
Are you familiar with Gary Chapman’s book “The 5 Love Languages”?
If not, I’m certain there are summaries or blog articles written about it.
You see, “words of affirmation” is one of the love languages.
We all have a primary and secondary love language…some of us more needy ones have all five LOL
But what happens is people don’t understand that the way another perceives being loved may be totally different from their own.
So understanding how you and he “love one another” best (feel being loved) is key.
