In session I, we will discuss love languages which describe how we receive love from others. In relationships, people tend to express love to a partner in the way they’d personally most like to receive it. The trouble is that one person’s love language doesn’t always align with that of their partner. It's important to give your partner what they want rather than what you would like to get. In session II, we will discuss some taboo topics that may be worth thinking about.
This meeting will take place online, hope you can all join!
