  8. The Five Love Languages, Honestly
    Gary Chapman’s framework says people give and receive love primarily through five channels — words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch — and friction often comes from partners speaking different ones. It is a useful conversation-starter, but be honest: the specific five-category model has limited empirical support. The durable insight is that partners should learn and act on what actually makes the other feel loved.
  9. Follow flow as a clue
    Track the activities where time disappears — they point toward love and skill at once.
