But what about the quiet, unspoken ways we express and receive love?
In this episode, we explore the overlooked love languages: the comfort of shared silence, the power of intellectual stimulation, intentional thoughtfulness, appreciation for effort, emotional consistency, affectionate moments without pressure, and support without needing to fix things.
