What's your love language?
so i've been reading a book that chad told me i HAVE to read. at first i thought it was cheesy and going to be a waste of time, but i figured why not...its called the "The Five Love Languages"...as it turns out it was actually really cool and insightful and i definitely recommend it to anyone. also i found a quiz online (http://www.selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=lovelanguages) that will help you determine what language you are, but u have to read the book to figure out what your particular dialect is. Here's my stuff:
#1: Acts of Service--You prefer to show your love through favors and chores and doing things for others. You feel put-upon and unappreciated when your efforts are taken for granted.
#2: Quality Time--This can be expressed either through those intimate tete-a-tete discussions or via doing things together. It's possible to get a low score in this category because you have a strong preference for one form of Quality Time over another.
#3: Words of Affirmation--You need to hear praise to know you are loved and you may also prefer to express your affection verbally. Negative comments cut right to the bone. You want to hear that you're loved and how much and why.
#4: Touch--You want to give and/or receive affection physically. This may or may not center around sex.
#5: Gifts--You are moved by presents and physical tokens of affection. It's the fact that someone is thinking about you enough to give you something that moves you. The objects are of secondary importance to the relationship and sentiment with which they were intended.
i just thought it was all very interesting.
