106 - 5 Love Languages, And Why You're Speaking The Wrong One
For help controlling your anger, visit https://angersecrets.com/. You can do everything right and still have a partner who feels unloved. In this episode, Alastair explains why: you have been showing love the way you would like to receive it, not the way they do. That gap is one of the quietest causes of anger in a marriage. If the unwashed dishes or a distracted reply set off a reaction far bigger than they deserve, the problem is probably not the dishes. It is the disconnection underneath, and it has been building for a while. You will learn all five love languages, words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch, and how to work out which one your partner actually needs. Alastair explains the link most people miss. When quality time is your partner's language and you are physically home but mentally elsewhere, they feel alone in the same house, and that loneliness turns into resentment, one of the most reliable anger triggers there is. He also gives you the simplest place to start: ask your partner what makes them feel most loved, or take Dr Gary Chapman's free quiz together, a 20-minute exercise that can change how you both communicate. The Anger Management Podcast helps men and women master anger management, manage anger triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and create calmer, happier homes. Hosted by anger specialist Alastair Duhs, creator of The Complete Anger Management System.
