Expressing Love Feeling

It is worthwhile to investigate how your loved ones truly feel loved and express love. When we love someone, we care about what is important to him. The language of love also tends to be the way we express love. It's equally important to learn how our loved ones give love.

 They may express their love to you in a way that you do not fully identify because you are only looking for love in the form you are giving. It's also important to know how you don't express love and understand it as a blind spot.
