This week on The Midlife Mud, we’re talking about the five love languages—words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, gifts, and physical touch—and how they might feel different as we move through midlife. Because let’s be honest: what used to feel like love might now just feel like another thing to manage.
We explore:
- What love languages actually mean (and why they still matter)
- How most people have 1–2 dominant ones
- How midlife may or may not shift the way you give and receive love
- Why understanding your love language—and someone else’s—can lead to fewer WTF moments in relationships
- And why your relationship with yourself is just as important
We also get into how our own love languages have evolved over time, especially when it comes to quality time and solo moments of self-connection—and why that awareness can bring more clarity, grace, and connection.
