HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Valentine's Day and love abounds or evades! We are hosting the kids from our youth for a chocolate fondue and games tonight at our house. One of our daughter's friends doesn't want to come because she is so upset because she doesn't have a boyfriend for Valentine's Day! She's 15. Everyone is longing for love!
I have asked a few people today what their love language is and what the love language of their spouse is. Once we understand the different love languages it makes our sense of giving and receiving love so much better. A couple of men I asked today, were rather dumbfounded about what their wives' love language was. The men just wanted sex and figured that's how their wives felt loved too. (physical touch) .. haha. After some discussion they realized that maybe doing things for their wives (acts of service) was actually how their wives perceived being loved.
The five love languages are:
1. Receiving Gifts
2. Quality Time
3. Acts of Service
4. Words of Affirmation
5. Physical Touch
Sure helps when you figure out what makes those around you feel loved. Spouse, kids, friends, co-workers. Study them. Figure it out. Act on it. Bless someone.
