While there are many who care for words of affirmation, there are equally many whose need is beyond this and they simply require quality time with a loved one.
For many, quality time is their primary love language, and if you don’t give them quality time, they will not feel loved.
Is it possible that your spouse’s primary love language is quality time? It is about giving your significant other your undivided attention. Quality time is a powerful emotional communicator of love.
It involves setting aside time and paying undivided attention to your significant other. It may also refer to time spent in some favourite activity.
You may have heard your partner saying this to you, “You no longer ever have time for me and the children. We used to do things together; I cannot even remember the last time we went out.
Now you are always too busy or too tired.” You simply need to communicate in a language of love your partner understands and in this case it is quality time.
Martin remembers spending quality time with his wife as a thing of the past; “Before we got married, my wife and I were inseparable, we did everything together. She had a way of turning everything into fun. That changed drastically.
She’s engrossed in her life, her children, her friends, her career, her everything except me! We could spend hours together, just having small talk, dining. Our weekends were super.”
Listening to Martin, it was obvious he speaks the love language of quality time and for him to reconnect with his wife, she too needs to understand that quality time together is crucial for their relationship to growth and thrive.
The language of love, quality time demands for quality conversation too, attentive listening, unconditional love, sharing experiences, thoughts, and feelings, without fear or intimidation in a friendly atmosphere, uninterrupted context.
