“Acts of Service” is probably the most selfless love language. Unlike the other ones, it’s the kind where your action benefits your partner more than you. You create an intimate connection by understanding their life and how you can make it easier for them. Being able to add value, subtract stress, divide tasks, and multiply your partner’s productivity is your expression of love.
Another good way to show that love is to extend it to our AAPI community. Having a date where both of you share your expertise and serve others is such a meaningful way to celebrate the day of love.
