Firstly, this is an excellent video, and I appreciate the perspectives! I think what you shown here is that the love languages ARE applicable across multiple cultures. The trickiness is in interpretation. For example, while physical touch, to me, is an extremely important love language - whether it’s a hug or having my back scratched, or my shoulders rubbed - I would be very weirded out if a stranger come up and did any of these things for me/to me, and would never offer any of those things to another person, unless I was sure that the other person was receptive to it. Regarding the question at the end of the video, personally, I would group spending time in community as quality time (especially if it’s with people you love), which IS one of the love languages. Similarly, I would group the “speaking section” in with Words of Affirmation. Glad to dialogue with anyone more some time. Again, great video!
This video is so well done and frames the love language idea in a totally new light! I would say Midwest culture (and maybe more broadly American in general) values expressing love through food (like giving your friends the leftovers when they come over for dinner). There’s nothing like a Tupperware of thanksgiving leftovers from grandmas house lol
So interesting! I love that you brought up trying to find your identity in speaking different languages...definitely something I've pondered and would love to chat about more :)
I'm so excited to have been a part of this! (Also, the Loons content!) Miss you so much, roomie.
