Finding the Guardian of Your Soul

GITRMM ep 26: Translating the 5 Love Languages and Adding a Few More!

Episode Summary

Gary Chapman’s revolutionary book, The 5 Love Languages, stirred up love and relationship conversations everywhere. While the 5 he names are most certainly valid and important, Lisa and Benjamin are here to shoot some holes in some of these theories and add a few universal love languages of their own. This week, they break down the 5 different love languages and talk about which ones they personally relate to, and discuss what to do when your partner isn’t giving you what you need. They talk about why it’s necessary to know yourself and what love languages mean the most to you, and why women need to stop playing games and start opening their hearts in a way that calls in the true Guardian of their Soul.
