Many people have read this book titled "The Five Love Languages" by Dr. Gary Chapman. I had heard about it when others were reading it in a marriage class and I thought I would take the opportunity to see how it could help me.
The Five Love Languages are listed as:
- Words of Affirmation
- Quality Time
- Receiving Gifts
- Acts of Service
- Physical Touch
As it goes into detail on what each of these are there were some quotes that I wanted to share that really stuck out:
"What we do for each other before marriage is no indication of what we will do after marriage."
"People tend to criticize their spouse most loudly in the area where they themselves have the deepest emotional need."
"Recent research has indicated that the average individual only listens for seventeen seconds before interrupting."
"Your picture of a perfect mate should give you some idea of your primary love language."
Definitely thought provoking quotes - check out the book and read it with your spouse, it might change your relationship for the better. You can even click on this link and test to see what your love language is:
