Love Languages

Yesterday I read The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by Gary Chapman. If you have not read this book, you should. Even if you don't have a mate, it's principles can be used in any loving relationship. Basically Dr. Chapman explains that everyone has a love tank that needs to be filled. To show love to someone you must use their love language, or they may not see your action as "love." The 5 Love Languages are as follows:

1. Words of Affirmation


2. Quality Time


3. Receiving Gifts


4. Acts of Service


5. Physical Touch

I relayed all the important tidbits to Justin and then we took the quiz. Justin was almost equal in 4 areas. His highest scoring areas were Quality Time and Physical Touch. These were closely followed by Words of Affirmation and Receiving Gifts. He had zero points for Acts of Service.

I also took the quiz. I scored highest in Quality Time followed closely by Physical Touch. I shouldn't have been surprised that we had the same highest scoring love languages. It is rare that we don't "feel" loved by one another.
