The final love language is words of affirmation. These can come in several different ways. The first is verbal compliments. An example of this would be telling someone how good her hair looks or the accessories she is wearing or her smile. Encouraging words are another form of this love language. These words will inspire people to be what they can be. It can encourage them to do more than they think they can. The words will inspire courage in the one you love.
An important part of words of affirmation is HOW you say something. What does your tone sound like? Does it seem irritated? Or can the person hear that you are being loving toward them? Also, it is important to use humble words- to request things from those you love and not demand them. So ask, "would you please...," instead of rudely telling someone to do something.
Remember, if words of affirmation are a person's love language, words that are mean or not encouraging will hurt them WAY more than someone whose love language is not words of affirmation. As you have read through the five love languages, what stuck out to you? Are there ones that you know are your spouse's and you have some apologizing to do? Do you know what yours are and you might need to explain the idea or love languages to those around you? Do things to fill the love tank of those around you and see the difference that it makes. Thanks for reading. :-)
