The five love languages (words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts) describe how people naturally give and receive love.
Confidente recently spoke to few well-known personalities to find out how best they show love and want to be loved.

He admits that he values meaningful conversations, spending uninterrupted time with loved ones, and expressing appreciation through encouraging and supportive words. “I prefer quality time be- cause it helps me build deeper connections and create lasting memories with the people whom I care about. Words of affirmation are important to me because sincere encouragement and appreciation make people feel valued and understood,” the ‘Go to Malawi’ hitmaker said.
EES, Artist, entrepreneur and cultural ambassador – EES said his love language is quality time. “For me, quality time is very important because life can get quite busy with work, music, travel and family commitments.

Understanding people’s love languages can help when there is negative tension or conflict in the relationship and you have a better chance of resolving the issue,” Karsten said.
