The 5 love languages are actually just the 5 needs in order for people to survive, and people just have different priorities.

If you think about it, your physical needs are fulfills with physical touch - sex, food, and water. Your emotional needs are fulfilled with words of affirmation - emotional support, reassurance, and comfort. Your mental needs are fulfilled with quality time - attention, focus, and stimulation. Your monetary needs are fulfilled with acts of service - money, favors, gifts, etc. And your spiritual needs are fulfilled with gifts - memories, keepsakes, trinkets, etc.<br><br>Edit: I’ve seen a lot of opposition in the comments, most of which are valid arguments. When I said it, I didn’t mean it literally. I just wanted to express that for me (and some other people like me), the 5 love languages are just basic needs but worded in a different way. Different people have different basic needs, whether it’s spiritual or monetary or physical needs in order of priority, and may express it in a different way. Some people may have different needs altogether. The point is that it’s relative, so don’t @ me
