4. Gifts – thoughtful presents that show care.
5. Physical Touch – hugs, kisses, and intimacy.
Tips for using love languages:
Learn your partner’s primary love language.
Express love in the way they receive it best.

Commitment involves:
Consistency: Daily actions that reinforce love and respect.
Accountability: Owning mistakes and taking steps to improve.
Loyalty: Being reliable and trustworthy through highs and lows.

It’s the silent force that tells your partner, “I matter, and so do my feelings.” Signs of self-respect include: Saying no when something doesn’t feel right. Refusing to tolerate insults, manipulation, or betrayal. Investing in your own growth—emotionally, mentally, and financially. A person without self-respect often attracts partners who will treat them poorly, no matter how charming or loving those partners may seem initially.
