Love is the most important word in the English language—and the most
confusing. Both secular and religious thinkers agree that love plays a central
role in life.
Love has a prominent role in thousands of books, song, magazines, and
movies. Numerous philosophical and theological systems
have made a prominent place for love.
-----Gary Chapman, “The 5 Love Languages The Secret to Love That Lasts)
I first learned of the five love languages through my
spiritual director, Annie. She explained
that she had learned to respect her husband more when she discovered his love
language is “Acts of Service.” Her husband would often clean out her car. She thought he was saying to her, “you are so
messy and lazy that I need to clean out your car” when in fact he was showing
her love through his love language “Acts of Service.” What a difference it made for their marriage
when she took the time to learn his love language and realized he was showing
love, not criticism, when he cleaned out her car.
Perhaps learning your love language and the love language of
others will help you. I encourage you to visit here http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/
