Is it possible to love someone deeply but still feel completely misunderstood? In our fifth episode, James Wong and Hazelle Teo get raw about the friction that happens when love languages collide.

It turns out, showing love in your own "language" doesn't always count if your partner isn't fluent in it. The couple reveals their primary driver and share hilarious and honest stories from their personal lives, including a gift from Hazelle that backfired into an argument, the awkward tension of wanting public affection, and why a simple compliment can sometimes be more valuable than a clean house. They discuss how they’ve learned to stop "translating" and start giving the other person exactly what they need in the moment.
