Gary Chapman
Couples often love each other deeply but feel completely disconnected because they express affection in a language their partner cannot translate.
Every individual possesses an internal emotional reservoir that dictates their relationship satisfaction and behavior based on whether it is filled or depleted.
Human affection is primarily communicated and received through words of affirmation, quality time, tangible gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.
People naturally express devotion in the way they wish to receive it, which inevitably fails and causes isolation if their partner speaks a different language.
