This means that your partner wants lots of compliments, encouragement, and validation from you. They want to know how special they are to you and how much value you place on their opinions and thoughts.

When you invest words of affirmation, your spouse will likely do the same thing for you. And that's a good thing because building up a healthy bank account of words of affirmation between the two of you can result in a happier marriage.

For some people, their love currency is a gift from a loved one that can brighten their day. It doesn't matter if the gift is big or small; all that matters is that someone took time to think about them and that's the gift deposit they want.

They also like it when their partners do unexpected things for them, such as surprising them with something special that they find meaningful. A gift doesn't need to be expensive to be meaningful but the currency you show matters to them.

Some people need physical touch to feel loved. If your partner is one of them, show them how much you care by intentionally touching them often. Hold their hand in public, give a kiss before leaving home and hug them after a long day.

Make an effort to help your spouse with the things he or she doesn't feel like doing. If your partner doesn't feel like doing the dishes, make breakfast, wash the dishes and do the laundry. This shows your partner how much you love them.

If you want to spend more time with your partner, try setting aside some time for them.

Give them your undivided attention. Just sitting with them while scrolling through your phone isn’t what they need from you. Listen to them attentively and actively engage in the conversation.

It doesn't have to be long periods of time, but it needs to be a quality time where you're fully present with each other either. This will help strengthen your bond and lead to a happier marriage.

In the context of happier marriage, these love currencies can help you and your partner understand each other better and deepen your connection as a couple. Thus, it takes time to learn about each other's currency.

However, if you want that foundation to be solid then think of a long-term. It’s okay to do it repeatedly and regularly. With practice, you can become fluent in each other’s love currency.

So, don’t give up on your partner, and keep trying to strengthen your relationship. As long as you both are working toward the same goal.
