I forgot about reading this book until Sara reminded me. I absolutely loved it. I read it and then sent it to Pres, and wow I could tell he actually read it. I took the quiz and here are my love languages in order of importance :
Physical touch 9 pts
Words of Affirmation 8 pts
Quality Time 8 pts
Acts of Service 4 pts
Receiving of Gifts 1 pt
The part that really finally "woke me up", was the part that explained you are basically wasting your time, if you aren't speaking your partners love language, and your partner is still feeling unloved.
In our relationship I am constantly telling Pres how awesome he looks, or making a comment about what he is wearing, or another compliment. He HATES compliments! Most of the things that I was doing to "show him I love him", didn't really mean much to him. I was using "my" love language. Pres always says to me, "I don't like to give compliments, because I don't like to get them. " I never understood that before, or maybe I wasn't listening carefully enough. Very awesome book. I remember Meg Turner and Beth talking about this book at Fort Hood, and it still took me this long to read it. Even Pres said it is an awesome book!
Try it, it's really fun.....http://www.greaterquest.com/LoveLanguages.asp
The book is called The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by Gary Chapman. I just ordered the one for children's five love languages. Very interesting!
