Question 12 of 20
In a long-term relationship, the most quietly sustaining thing is:
Take a moment to think... A Consistent verbal affection — 'I love you' said like it means something, specific appreciation said oftenB Shared effort that's equitable and attentive — you both notice and act without scorekeepingC The tradition of small, thoughtful gifts — holidays, sure, but also random TuesdaysD Regular protected time — dates that actually happen, evenings that aren't scheduled overE Everyday physical closeness — the morning kiss that's never become a habit, hands still found
Words of Affirmation speakers feel most loved through verbal encouragement, written notes, and expressed appreciation — silence can feel like disapproval.
