The Languages of Love Five Love Languages 1. Words of Affirmation-Some people appreciate words of affirmation, such as compliments or encouraging messages. These could be spoken or written. 2. Quality Time-Spending quality time with a loved one is important and effective when both give undivided attention to the other and engage in sympathetic dialogue. 3. Gifts-are visual symbols of love that can be store-bought or handmade. They never have to be expensive. 4. Acts of Service-Do something your loved one would appreciate as an act of service. This could be anything from cooking a meal to washing the dishes-a way to "serve" the other person. 5. Physical Touch-For some, physical touch expresses love. These lovers enjoy hugging, snuggling, kissing and holding hands...These are the five ways people communicate and understand love, from "The Five Love Languages:How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate" by Gary Chapman. How do you explain affection to a woman that doesn't want to receive it or doesn't want to give it? They say that some show there love by words of affirmation, some by spending quality time, some by buying gifts, some by acts of service and some by physical touch. My language is definately physical touch, and I like to share love in the softness of a kiss and the closeness of a caress. How will that love be fulfilled or expressed if the woman of my desire shares not the desire to share a physical caress. Go ahead and keep pushing me away, someday the one that shares my love language will take my heart away. JamesLee July23 2005 This is not my current situation... just thinking that this has something to do with the failure of some of my relationships...we didn't speak the same love language. Haven't read the above mentioned book yet, but I will be reading it. |

WOW...feeling you here, JamesMichael! I know exactly what you're talking about...have been here. God has definitely made us all unique and extremely complex to give us those five love languages and the combination of those to deal with, huh? For me, I don't think that there is a need to find someone that loves the same way I do, but to find some one that wants to show me he loves me in the way I feel love. I think that it would be great to be in love with someone that shows love in the same way I do...BUT...just think how great it would be to be in love with someone that doesn't love in the same way or feel loved in the same way, but goes out of their way to make you feel loved in your own "language"...and visa versa! THAT, m'friend, is true love and commitment! That is what I have been looking for...and some day with God's help...we will ALL have what we are looking for if we don't have it already! Good luck on your search...and the book will be a great read and a big help! I haven't read it fully yet [have been working on more than just that one book], but so far it has been wonderful in obtaining the knowledge I always needed, but never knew existed. :/ Better late than never...as far as I am concerned.  God bless,  ~ Becka |
