Love languages quiz: how do you like to be shown love?
Eight questions about how you give and receive affection: surprises, gifts, help when you are stressed and how you feel about affection in public. A gentle quiz for couples, and for friends who want to understand each other better.
How to play this one
- Think about what actually makes you feel loved, not what you think you should say.
- It is short enough to do over a coffee.
- If your partner misses, tell them the answer. That is more useful than the score.
