You've heard of the Five Love Languages. But what's next? In
this episode, we’re joined by marriage and family therapist and
author Leslie Parrot to explore what it really means to love in
ways that are not just well-intended, but deeply felt. Good
intentions alone aren’t enough, but empathy and curiosity help
bridge the gap between how we express love and how it’s actually
received. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and
relational wisdom, Leslie offers insight into why a deeper
understanding of love languages matters, not as a formula, but as a
pathway to deeper connection.
And what fills your “love tank”, or that of someone you care about?
This isn't only for marriage; we also widen the lens to consider
how these principles apply in friendships, families, and other
relationships. We discuss how personality shapes the way we give
and receive love, why each love language includes different
“dialects,” and how becoming a better listener is central to loving
well. This episode invites you to slow down, listen more deeply,
and practice a kind of love that doesn’t just get expressed, but
truly lands.
