discover my love language

So, after much deliberation and input from others, I figured out I’m a quality time person! (The five languages are: Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, and Physical Touch.) Then again, I wonder – this must be common for women to be like this. Again, the book I was reading, and finally have finished – it is great! I have my other half reading it and he likes it too (and he hates reading, or at least NEVER has time for it.)

Well, either way, it’s nice to find out waht you are – what makes you happy and also how to make other people in your life happy. The book was right: filling up peoples’ love tanks will make make them behave quite differently – we’re learning this very quickly, and totally enjoying it in the process!!!!!

Words of Affirmation are like, “Thanks so much honey for taking out the trash. That really means a lot to me and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.”

:/ No, not that one. I mean it is nice to hear such things, but we tend to support each other anyway. Let’s try the next chapter…

that my friend suggested that I read – the idea is that there are 5 basic “love languages” that people speak. Long-term relationships can get drab after the newness and excitement wears down (and it inevitably will). It suggests that the problem is because even though the people love each other, they are speaking different love languages and thus their acts of love can go unnoticed, etc. It also suggests the idea of having a “love tank” which, when it goes empty, can make a person feel, well, miserable and unloved, even though the person knows they’re loved. So, with this book, I’m supposed to figure out what love language I am… even my other is interested in this book. Can it breathe some freshness back into the relationship and fill up our love tanks? Aha – so we shall see.
