On a recent blog post called Choosing Love, Candid Compositions mentioned how important it is to know each other's love languages and I completely agree. I started looking into love languages in the past couple years and kind of assumed that mine was receiving gifts. But I decided to do some official digging and take…
I think we all experience love differently. I see it every day, there is no one way to love someone. And I'm not just talking about family love vs. friends love vs. marriage love - I'm saying that every relationship and every person who is in love does it differently. My first big love was…
