LOVE
Happy Valentine’s Day! This is the day we celebrate love – especially the romantic kind! The 5 Love Languages tell us how to improve showing love to all those in your life. Dr. Gary Chapman wrote a book about this topic and said most people give and receive love in 5 different ways. They are Words, Gifts, Touch, Acts of Service and Quality Time. Words includes verbal affirmation and endearing phrases. Gifts means giving items that indicate thoughtfulness. Touch is physical contact like hugging, holding hands, etc. Acts of Service is doing things for someone else’s benefit. Quality Time is spending uninterrupted time together doing what the other likes.
So, look at your spouse, kids, or other important people in your life. Try to figure out what is meaningful to them and demonstrate one or two styles to them. It is amazing how “speaking” their language of love strengthens your relationship! Love is in the air!!
