I recently had a conversation with someone about the 5 love languages. This is how we love others or how we feel loved by others. It is an interesting perspective on important relationships in our life. Here is the list:
*Quality time
*Words of Affirmation
*Gifts
*Acts of Service
*Physical Touch
So of this list, how do you most feel loved? What are your top two love languages? My first love language is definitely words of affirmation. The second one is a toss up between physical touch and acts of service. I think it is interesting because not only do I want to be shown love in these ways, but I tend to love others in these ways...and it may not be the way they feel most loved. I think taking a new look at how others feel loved can change the way we choose to love them.

If I had known this concept earlier maybe I wouldn't have been married for so long. I assumed everyone expressed love through acts of service, well you can imagine my disappointment...
