You probably love your spouse very much, but he/she may not feel that you do.
The book describes five different ways in which people express and receive love; acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation, physical touch, or gifts. The key is to discover your spouse’s love language and learn how to effectively express love and truly feel loved in return.
I think there are often simple misunderstanding between couples that leads to great dissatisfaction in the relationship. Misunderstanding one another’s love language is one.
I have no doubt that my husband loves me, he would give his life for me. But oftentimes I don’t feel that he loves me. My love language is words of affirmation and quality time. I try to let him know this so that he can express his love for me in ways that make me feel loved. I have to admit that I have to remind him of this a lot! And yes, I try to speak his love language. I think it has helped our relationship.
And I haven’t even read the book! I heard a program on this on Family Life radio program. This book is on my wish list.
