There are so many couples that are stuck in the stagnant rut of day to day living. We get lulled into thinking we don’t need to win over our spouse anymore because we’re married. We start out in this euphoria, but we hit the hurdle when it fades into the reality of life.

We have to wake up to the love languages. People are missing each other because they haven’t come to understand them, that our spouses have specific needs. Just like a person has a need for water, food, or sleep, there are specific love needs.

Learn and understand what the 5 love languages are. (Quality time, physical touch, words of affirmation, receiving gifts, acts of service) Take the love language test to discover what your love language is and which one is your spouse’s. Make the effort to understand the 5 languages and personalize it to your spouse so you don’t miss each other anymore.

The love isn’t gone, it’s just been vacant for a while. People have intentions to love, but if they don’t feel like they’re being appreciated for what they’re doing, then they’ll say why bother? But if an effort is made to understand and show love in a way that makes sense to your spouse, then that love can be rekindled.
