"Love Tank" and "Love Bank" are the same concept with different names.

"Love Bank" is from Harley's "His Needs, Her Needs"

"Love Tank" is from "5 Love Languages"

Every time you do something loving for your spouse (per the definition of how they want to be loved - both books describe this), then the tank get's fuller / bank balance goes up.

Every time you do something non-loving for your spouse, you are taking out of the tank / making a withdrawal from the bank.

When the tank gets empty / bank balance reaches 0, your spouses feelings of love for you are gone.

The tank / bank leaks over time, so if you do nothing, the level / balance goes down over time - doing nothing eventually leads to a zero level / balance.

So you have to figure out what things are inputs / deposits for YOUR spouse, and then do it in order to keep the tank full / bank balance high.
