How does Hilary Erickson suggest using the love languages to improve family relationships?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse.

From my own love language test, I learned my primary love language is Acts of Service, with Quality Time a very close second. For me, that means I feel most loved when people help me and when we spend focused time together, not necessarily when I get gifts or lots of touch.

The big takeaway for families is this: often we’re “speaking” our own love language, not the other person’s. So:

• Figure out your own top love language(s)
• Ask your partner and kids to take the quiz too
• Try to show love in their language, not just yours

Would you like some specific ideas for each love language for kids or partners?
