EPISODE 2 — Your Love Language Is Not Theirs, And That Is Why You Both Feel Unloved

You can love someone completely, and they can still feel unloved. Not because you're failing them. Because you're speaking a language they can't hear.

In this episode, marriage counsellor Anita Daniels breaks down Dr Gary Chapman's five love languages, Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch, and why most of us give love in our own language and just assume our partner receives it the same way. They don't.

Plus, two real stories from the counselling room. Remi and Bola, whose carefully planned three-week anniversary dinner nearly broke a marriage that was full of real love, and Kemi and Tunde, and the mystery of the man who cannot stop fixing things in the garage.

And at the top of the show, we read our first listener message, from a man we're calling Mr G, on one of the hardest, least talked about parts of intimacy in marriage.
