What is ActAgape?
ActAgape is a relationship enrichment app based on a
clinically-tested method, developed by psychologist Dr. Scott
Symington, that increases loving behavior and connection in couple’s
everyday lives.
At the heart of the app is the AGAPE Method, which helps
couples identify, share and implement simple, daily acts that
powerfully communicate love and care. AGAPE is a Greek word for the
highest form of love, the type of love focused on what is best for
the other. With our method, AGAPE is also transformed into an
acronym representing the 5 primary ways we experience love:
Recognizing, encouraging or appreciating each other
"I see and appreciate how hard you work."
"You have good ideas."
"I like how your mind works."
G
= Generous & Helpful Acts
Generosity of time, service & heart
"How can I best support you today?"
"Breakfast in bed"
"Gift giving"
A
= Affection & Physical Intimacy
Physical affection, touch & intimacy
"I enjoy it when we hold hands."
"A long kiss"
"Sensuous touch"
Making the relationship a priority
"Can I take you on a date this weekend?"
"How about the two of us go on a walk?"
"Would you like to find a time to talk?"
Emotional understanding & support
"How are you feeling?"
"I am sorry you are going through this."
"How can I help relieve your stress?"
