TODAY's GIFT is LOVE LANGUAGES
Words of Affirmation. Acts of Service. Receiving Gifts. Quality Time. Physical Touch.
Do you know how your loved ones meaningfully receive love?
Have you ever wondered why your expressions of love aren't well-received?
As we move into family time, I invite you to take Love Languages quiz here to find out what your primary love language is. And then make sure your partner takes it, too. You can even take the test as proxy for your child! What a holiday gift you can give your whole family if we start to understand what feeds us emotionally!
Keep in mind that just because one may be more dominant than the others, it doesn't mean that the others aren't important. That's a conversation for a future date. However, finding out what your primary is can be life changing!
Dr. Gary Chapman has written the New York Times bestselling book The 5 Love Languages, a breakthrough work on how we give and receive love. Whether you are looking to improve your relationship with your partner, children, parents, friends, or colleagues, understanding Love Languages is an invaluable tool.
Here's an example of how love languages work. If my primary love language is words of affirmation, I may assume that all the people in my life like to receive words of affirmation. But if my friend's primary love language is receiving gifts, she will never feel as fully loved from my words of praise as she will when I pick out a meaningful gift for her. By understanding our own love language and the love languages of those we care about, we can have more satisfying relationships, getting what we want, and giving in a way that is meaningful to our loved ones.
