According to Dr. Gary Chapman, there are five love languages: words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, physical touch, and receiving gifts. Each person expresses love differently, and understanding these differences is crucial for a fulfilling relationship. In our previous articles (links at the bottom), we discussed how to make your partner feel loved if their love languages are words of affirmation, acts of service, or even physical touch.
Here, we will focus on the fourth love language—quality time. Below, you'll find various ways to make your partner feel deeply loved and happy by prioritising quality time together.
Take the effort to make plans
Be fully present in the moment with them
By now you know that your partner loves spending time with you, but it’s also important to understand that they want you to be fully present during that time. So, make sure that when you're together, you minimise distractions—put your phone down and truly listen to what they have to say. Even if you don't realise it, this will make your partner feel deeply loved and secure with you.
Surprise them with a weekend getaway
One of the sweetest things you can do for your partner is to surprise them with a short getaway, especially if you and your partner usually have packed schedules. You can book a nearby destination, allowing you both to relax and rejuvenate. This way, you'll spend quality time together, which, as you know, is their favourite thing in the world. So, make some time and plan this out carefully.
Try new things together
Celebrate each other's milestones
We often forget how important it is to celebrate each other's milestones. Recognising and celebrating your partner's achievements and happy moments brings you closer in your relationship. Make it a point to acknowledge and celebrate these milestones together, whether big or small. It shows your support and appreciation, and strengthens your bond. When you celebrate their successes and joys, they will naturally feel valued and loved, reinforcing the emotional connection between you.
End your day with them
What we mean is, take time out to share your day with each other before going to bed. Tell them about your experiences, thoughts, and feelings from the day, and ask about theirs. It provides a moment to reflect on your day together, offer support, and express gratitude. By making this a regular part of your routine, you create a strong emotional bond and ensure that your partner feels valued and heard, strengthening your relationship in the process.
