Love Language :)

I was reading up on how couples communicate with each other and something interested me quite a bit; love language. I was thinking about sharing what I read into like a more relaxed way of explanation, in my words. In this article thing that I read, this guy-- Gary Chapman, says that each one of us speak at LEAST one primary love language.

And of course, what's being given to us and what we expect might not always be the same, that's why sometimes we're left unsatisfied. He stated that there are five languages that couples 'speak' and they are: words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service and physical touch. The lucky ones might get their perfect match where they both speak the same language, but yeah... seems like chances of that happening is kinda rare.

Words of Affirmation: Basically means when you affirm your feelings about your significant other, you tell them that you love them and they mean the world to you.

Quality Time: This just means being together physically. Spending time doing things together and so on.

Gifts: Giving presents. lol~ I don't really know how to elaborate on that, but I guess, you know JLo's old song? "Love don't cost a thing?" Remember the video clip how she was on the phone with her lover and she was thanking him for sending over an (I assume) expensive bracelet to her? And you hear her saying that she wished he was there instead of the damned bracelet. Yeah well, I guess to that guy, giving her the gift shows his love for her, but she wants 'quality time' instead.

G'daayyuuummm~ I am awesome at giving examples. lol wtf.

Acts of service: Doing things that your partner wants or likes but not necessarily being touchy feely? I suppose that's how I look at it. A guy who goes all out to do something that he knows his chick would like, but that doesn't necessarily mean she'd be satisfied, because why? she might expect a different kind of "love language" for him.

Physical touch: I suppose that's self explanatory isn't it? You just basically show your love through hugging, kissing, snuggling. Physical intimacy; though it seems like all couples would want it, not everyone likes it or sees it as an important part of a relationship. As in, they prefer other ways of showing affection as opposed to getting physical.

Honestly though, I think I speak all these "language". To me though, the most important to the least important would be... Quality time, Physical touch, Words of affirmation, gifts and acts of service. Actually you know, now that I think about it, I need all those!!! hahahahahahahaha!! x) Each of them somehow lapse into the same category at one point or another, that's how I see it anyway... Lol. Anyways, that's all I want to share. I want to go beddy bye now~ ttfn! :3
