LOVE LANGUAGE
“He was so far from the gallant knights in her romantic fantasies ... He was tarnished, scarred, imperfect.
Deliberately he had destroyed any illusions she might have had about him, exposing his mysterious past for the ugly horror that it was. His purpose had been to drive her away. But instead she felt closer to him, as if the truth had bonded them in a new intimacy.”
― Lisa Kleypas
WORDS OF AFFIRMATION
SUB HEADLINE
To a person whose love language is Words of Affirmation, their partner’s appreciation and love are best affirmed to them through words. This someone who is uniquely aware of how powerful and beautiful words can really be. On the flip-side, for people with this as their primary language, insults or negative comments may cut a little deeper. Words can be used as a way to tear someone down or build someone up.
Since written and spoken language speaks directly to their heart, people with this love language will show their loved ones affection through effusive words, terms of endearment, and sweet little nothings, which are really sweet little everythings.
For people who gravitate toward words of affirmation, they find fulfillment through positive reinforcement via compliments or praise that shines light on something they did or who they are as a person. To some, words may not seem that meaningful, but to people whose love language is words of affirmation, underneath each word is an ocean of meaning and significance that is working to either strengthen or weaken the relationship's bonds.
“I told you I didn't have a heart. I do have one. I just didn't know it until I met you. You are my light. My soul craves you, and I love you with every ounce of the heart you've awakened in me. I...I could live without you but I wouldn't want to. Will you marry me, [Ellena]?”
— Suzanne Enoch

"[Elian] wasn't certain if he was surrendering to [Ellena] or to his own passion for her. Only that there was no more holding back. He would take her. And he would give her everything he had, every part of his soul, even the broken pieces.”

When Cancer and Aquarius make a love match, it can be a case of opposites attracting.
The Cancer takes an emotional approach to life, whereas the Aquarius has a more offbeat, unconventional approach. While the Cancer often retreats into its shell, the Aquarius takes every opportunity to be the visible, often taking on the role of leadership or front figure. They love to find themselves amongst friends and trusted ones, although their confidence is not easily earned. If a Cancer and an Aquarius can find a way to combine these qualities in a positive way, they can go anywhere together.
“While she was light and sunshine, he was nothing but clouds and darkness.”
— Victoria Michaels
Both the Cancer and the Aquarius can be ambitious and determined. They want to get their way, but whilst one tends to steer clear from conflict, the other confronts it head first. The Cancer can be old-fashioned, attached to tradition and routine, their morals more conservative than progressive. The Aquarius, on the other hand, is very modern and likely numbed by routine, yawning at the dull and the boring in which the Cancer sometimes finds comfort. The Cancer may be intrigued by their Aquarius lover's sense of excitement, but this traditional crustacean could get frustrated trying to keep up with this revolutionary's mind. Though the Aquarius will not appreciate the possessiveness of a pinching Cancer, they could find great comfort in the solid base Cancer provides. Just try to get them to admit it!

— Marissa Meyer
“His face, brooding and saturnine in the shadows, could have belonged to some lesser god in a realm far below Olympus. Powerful, secretive, enigmatic.
He turned his head until his lips nudged her palm with a tenderness she knew somehow was reserved for her alone.”
— Lisa Kleypas
