Please read The Five Love Languages, UPLOAD HERE.
Please take Dr. Gary Chapman’s test on their “love language” profile from the following website: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/ and they bring their individual scores for each of the 5 domains rating to the event. The test is customized: for couples, being single, teens and children. For the workshop, we are interested that the audience take the most relevant quiz to their current status (e.g., couples or being single). It is very important that when one is taking the quiz, that they reflect on their authentic self, only thinking and answering according to how they feel, not taking in to account what they know, believe or feel their partner prefers for them as a couple. This is a quiz about “you” as an individual even when you are in a relationship.
