Can love languages change?

Yes, love languages can change over time. According to Andrew Huberman, early childhood dynamics can significantly influence romantic attachments as adults, indicating that people's ways of expressing love may evolve based on early experiences. These dynamics are flexible and not restricted to early life relationships, suggesting a possibility for change and adaptation over time in the way love is expressed and received. This perspective is supported by observations in the book "Attached", which discusses how childhood dynamics carry into adult romantic attachments, further affirming the potential for change in love languages 1.
