The Five Love Languages are a set of communication styles that people use to express and receive love. These Love Languages include: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Physical Touch, Acts of Service, and Receiving Gifts. Couples find them helpful because by understanding their partner's love language, they can better understand how to show love and affection in a way that is meaningful to their partner.
Acts of Service is one of the Five Love Languages and it refers to the acts of kindness and helpfulness that a person does for their partner. People who have this as their love language feel loved when their partner takes care of the household tasks, runs errands for them, or helps them out with a project. They don't feel loved when their partner says they will do something and then fails to follow through. They are not impressed with words or grand gestures, they are looking for consistent and thoughtful actions.
