An MOT for Valentine’s Day? Relationship expert explains that your partner’s ‘love language’ might mean you’re better off getting their car serviced than splashing out on chocolates and flowers
- Top relationship expert said there are five different types of love languages
- These include words of affirmation, acts of service and quality time
Forget the roses and chocolate this Valentine’s Day: impressing your spouse could be as easy as taking the car to get an MOT.
Top relationship expert Natalia Kobylkina revealed that the key to a successful relationship is to know each other’s ‘love language’.
‘There are five different types of love languages, and most people will tick one or two,’ she said.
‘You have words of affirmation, where you verbally compliment someone. Acts of service is where you might fix the car or do something for them. Then there is quality time, doing things together. Then physical touch, where people want to hold hands and physically feel love. Finally, it’s important to listen to your partner.’

Ms Kobylkina added: ‘Every day you should show someone you care and that you would like to receive the same. If only one partner is giving in a relationship, it won’t work. Valentine’s Day is important to celebrate, but every week should be Valentine’s.’
Ms Kobylkina, who began offering relationship advice to her friends after studying psychology at university, now runs one of the most successful relationship counselling services in the world, offering advice to celebrities and over 3,000 people a month. She travels the world offering relationship advice, counselling and offering crash courses in love, and said she is currently booked out for the next month.
She added: ‘You’ll find a lot of people put lots of effort in one day of the year and then not again. For most people, that’s not enough. It needs to be consistent.
‘My husband and I dedicate every Friday night to each other and for me, it’s the key to our happy relationship. No matter how busy we are or what is going on in our lives, Friday nights are for each other.’
