In this fun and thoughtful episode, Angie and Shelly explore the world of love languages—what they are, why they matter, and how they show up in relationships with partners, kids, friends, and even co-workers. With plenty of personal stories (some sweet, some hilarious), they dive into how we give love, how we like to receive it, and what happens when those don’t quite match up.

🕰️ Quality Time – Why showing up in person still matters most for some love buckets

🎁 Gifts That Mean Something – Why it’s not about price tags—it’s about thought and meaning

🤗 Physical Touch – From long hugs to hand holding, why affection is non-negotiable for some

👨‍👩‍👧 Love Languages Across Generations – From Shelly’s hug-loving son to Angie’s affirmation-filled daughter-in-law, how different languages show up in families

😂 When Partners Don’t Match – Why mismatched languages don’t mean doom, but do mean you’ve got to pay attention
