Affection wasn’t always easy for us especially in the beginning. I (Trone) have always been a naturally affectionate person, while Adoria didn’t grow up in an environment where that type of love was the norm. Over time, we had to figure out how to navigate our differences in love languages and create a relationship where we both felt loved and valued. In this video, we open up about the real reasons some people struggle with showing affection and share how understanding each other’s pasts helped us bridge the gap. We talk about the importance of creating a safe space for growth, how intentionality and patience transformed our relationship, and why affection is something you can learn when love and commitment are at the center. We're proof that with the right partner and mutual effort, anything is possible. If you or your partner have ever struggled with expressing affection, or if you’re just looking to deepen your connection, this one’s for you.
