I don’t know if you’ve read the 5 love languages by Gary Chapman- but it changed the way I understood how to love someone AND what they need to feel the love.
Physical touch, acts of service, gifts, words of affirmation, and quality time are the 5 love languages he discusses and I’m continuing to learn what I need AND what they need.
When we look at Matthew 6 which is where a variation of the golden rule came from, “treat people the way you want to be treated.” What it’s really saying is to love people the way they need to be loved….& it looks different with each person.
When it comes down to it- everyone wants to be loved properly.
Take care.
