In any relationship communication is important.<br />Relationship guru, Gary Chapman, wrote a whole book about it. And broke down communication in 5 love languages.<br />It's important in a friendship to find the language in which you feel the most comfortable in.<br />Here are the 5 love languages to see if you and your friend speak the same one:<br />1. Words of affirmation<br />It's a simple way to chime in and connect with your friend.<br />Just a little "Thinking about you.", a "Just checking in.", or even a "Have a great day." is a small gesture but a way to show your friend your thinking about them.<br />2. Acts of Service<br />This is all about showing up. This day in age people talk a lot but don't act on what they say.<br />3. Gifts.<br />Gifts can be materialist, but this is not the point. It's the thought that counts. It's a "I saw this and I thought about you" type of gift!<br />4. Quality time<br />Enjoy the present, enjoy the moment with your friend. Which will deepen your friendship!<br />5. Physical Touch<br />Anything that means you care, you're there, you're listening. A small touch on the arm, a big hug, holding hands, etc.
