The 5 Love Languages Quiz
The 5 Love LanguagesGary ChapmanWhy can two people who love each other try their hardest for each other and still feel unloved? Gary Chapman found a simple answer: each of us speaks and hears love in our own language — words, time, gifts, acts of service, or touch. And we stubbornly keep speaking our own, expecting to be understood without…
Question 1 of 5
According to Chapman, why might a partner not feel loved even when the other tries hard?
Show the answer
Right answer: Because care is shown in the way that makes sense to the giver
We usually show care in the way that makes sense to us. If a partner's language is different, the effort may simply not reach them.
Question 2 of 5
You work hard for the family, and your partner complains: "You're always at work!" How does Chapman explain it?
Show the answer
Right answer: Your language is acts of service, your partner needs quality time
Each person shows love in their own language. Effort through deeds doesn't reach someone whose language is time together: no one is to blame, the languages just didn't match.
Question 3 of 5
What happens when a person's love tank runs empty?
Show the answer
Right answer: Irritation, nitpicking and a sense of being unloved show up
An empty tank doesn't make a person calmer: irritation, nitpicking, resentment and a feeling of not being loved show up.
Question 4 of 5
How does Chapman see the fact that being in love fades over time?
Show the answer
Right answer: It's not the end but the start of conscious love
Chapman offers comfort: when being in love fades, it's not a reason to break up or chase a new spark, but the start of a love you choose on purpose.
Question 5 of 5
You have little time on weekdays and are saving for a big anniversary surprise. What would Chapman say?
Show the answer
Right answer: Small daily signs matter more than one big surprise
The love tank fills little by little. One lavish surprise a year warms less than daily attention in the right language.
