Good Morning! Happy 21st Anniversary to my sister and brother in law and my brother and sister in law. Yes, you read that right. They had a double wedding. It was awesome. I was the matron of honor for my sister. It was the first and only double wedding I have attended. They are both in great and happy marriages and it is nice to see such wedded bliss.
Speaking of Love......Do you know your love language? Your spouse's? Significant other? Kids? Do you know what the love languages are? Gary Chapman, an author, wrote a book forever ago describing the 5 different love languages. It really is an eye opener on how different people accept/show their love. The 5 languages are:
1. Words of Affirmation
2. Acts of Service
3. Receiving Gifts
4. Quality Time
5. Physical Touch
Once you have discovered some one's love language and yours the rest is pretty easy. For example, my primary love language is Receiving Gifts and my secondary is Physical Touch. You want to show me you love me, buy me a present and give me a hug. I show someone I love them by giving them a hug(I hug everyone...warning; well mostly everyone) and/or a gift. Now, princess, her love language is Quality Time. She could care less about cuddling, but loves to spend time with me or anyone else, regardless of what it is. So, if she wants to hang, make sure you make the time for her, because she takes rejection hard. Now, if you want to really show her love, take her to the mall and spend money on her. That is when she is the most happy. Hubby's love language is easy. He is physical touch first (I know, what guy doesn't like physical touch), but hubby is constantly holding my hand, rubbing my back, giving me a kiss, cuddling, etc It's awesome because one of my love language is physical touch and so we full fill each other's needs that way. His second is quality time. He could care less about gifts. Spend time with him and he is a happy camper. Holidays are very easy with him because he is happy with whatever gift or nothing at all, but if you ask him what he wants for his birthday, father's day, etc...he always responds, to spend time with you, kids, family, etc. I also tend to hang out with people who have the same love language as me. Most of my friends hug. My ex's family were not big huggers so I always felt a bit on the outside. Hubby's family are big huggers. It is awesome. There is nothing like a big comfy hug. So find out what your love language is and if you feel something is missing from your life, it could be you need someone who speaks your love language. Whether it's a friend, significant other, etc. Here is the website to take the quiz and for more info: http://www.5lovelanguages.com
Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!
Hugs
