If Words of Affirmation is your primary love language from the 5 love languages quiz, verbal expressions mean everything to you. Compliments, encouragement, and 'I love you' statements fill your emotional tank.
People with this love language thrive on verbal acknowledgment. A simple text saying 'I'm proud of you' or 'You look amazing today' can transform their entire mood. However, criticism and harsh words are devastating—negative comments linger for years. If your partner scores high in Words of Affirmation on the 5 love languages test, verbal encouragement is non-negotiable for relationship health.
