What's Your Language?

I'm sure most of you have read, or at least heard of, the book "The 5 Love Languages." It is an awesome book. My husband and I read it together many years ago.

What I want to tell you today is how I think it is so easy to forget our spouse's love language. For instance, mine is "Quality Time" which means I feel most loved when my husband spends time with me (or other people; it doesn't have to just be with your significant other). It can be anything from going on a walk, going on a date, or just talking at home with no other distractions.

My husbands love language is "Acts of Service" which means he feels most loved when I go the extra mile like doing the dishes when its his turn, making him a late-night snack, etc.

Now, every day I want to show my husband how much I love him. But even deep down I know what I need to do (acts of service), it just comes naturally for me to speak my love language. And then I get confused when I tell him I went to spend quiet time with him and he doesn't even care about it!! It's because that doesn't say "love" to him.

So, I just want to say that if you don't already know what your spouse's love language is, find out today. (It would be a fun date to get the book, take the test, then read about your languages.) Then, remember, remember, remember to show your spouse love by speaking their language. Good luck!!
