Small but mighty is the catch phrase that comes to mind when I think of love. I suppose you are wondering what that even mean. Let me enlighten you ; small in way of the word of it. It sounds light on the lips and easy to the ears, but it has deeper meaning full of complexities. It could mean patience, caring, kind, understating, sacrifice, deep affection, joy and so many other attributes. It could also mean forgiveness, acceptance and even letting go.

Love could be defined in multiple context so much that, pinning one meaning to it, would make it impossible. Just as love doesn't have a clear cut definition to it, demonstrating love also comes in diverse ways .
When I hear love language, what do I think of?
Communication in every perspective is both spoken and actionable. There are times our spoken words do not align with our actions. In this way, we get a lot of bridges
and barriers to a smooth alliance. In this regards, so is love. Loved should not just be uttered, it should be demonstrated.
When you tell me "babes l love you", I need to feel it through your actions too, be available emotionally as well. That being said, it is also reciprocal, as said by me about my expectations for love language, I would do same.

Physical Touch
Being emotionally available brings me to the next point, physical touch. Love is a blend
of multiple factors that helps to bind and solidify partners. I can't express love and forego physical touch. Expression is very important to me when it comes to matters of the heart, being it physical or otherwise.
I love to have love expressed to me and I to also express love. It could be through hugs, holding hands, kissing, or cuddling.
This part is very important, it helps to bind the relationship in a more solid way as this part could release stress and offer one with a sense of belonging.

Gifts and relationship
To crown all of these, is gift-giving. This communicates thoughtfulness and tells that your partner thinks about you, and hopes to make you smile.
It is also a means of showing appreciation and it goes a long way to create connection too. Gift-giving doesn't necessarily mean presenting expensive items, or waiting for occasions like birthdays, valentine day, If it's within your means to give something expensive, yes do it but if you do not have that luxury, do something basic. It is the thought behind it that matters most.
Love is beautiful, it gets stronger and blossoms when you blend all the varieties that make expressing love, worth the effort.
