Lessons in Love From Tom Holland and Zendaya’s Relationship

From co-stars in the Spiderman franchise, to friends, to now romantic partners, the Internet is obsessed with Tom Holland and Zendaya’s relationship. And frankly, it makes sense. The pair shows what an incredibly loving and mature relationship can look like.

After watching videos and interviews with them, I actually noticed some lessons about relationship success that contribute to the success and happiness of their partnership.

Here are four lessons in love from Tom Holland and Zendaya’s relationship:

1. They practice each other’s love language

Dr. Gary Chapman discovered five unique styles of love that couples have to express and receive love to and from each other. These five different ways of love are called love languages and include words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Not everyone communicates love in the same way, and people have different ways they receive love based on their top love languages.

Showering your partner with love based on their love language can promote better feelings of connection and growth in the relationship.

And based on an interview Zendaya did years before dating Tom (see the TikTok video below), her top love language is words of affirmation. And Tom definitely delivers.
