“We assume others show love the same way we do – and if they don’t, we worry its not there.” Gary Chapman
Isn’t that the truth? We judge others by our own perception of love, and our own expression of love. Most of our inadequacies of love expression come from this viewpoint. We look at our spouses through the same glasses we view the world and we express ourselves through the same limited glasses.
According to Gary Chapman, the author of “5 Languages of Love”, the five languages of love are:
1. Words of affirmation
2. Acts of service
3. Receiving gifts
4. Quality time
5. Physical touch
While there is a universal language of love, each individual has highly personalised interpretations of the same acts of love. Some of us like an expression of love by touch, by hugs, by kisses or by pampering, while some of us believe a verbal expression is sufficient. Others believe that love must be accompanied by some defined actions or activities while others believe that gifts make an excellent expression of love.
My question to you is: What is your language of love and how do you interpret the expression of love from your spouse?
And the second question to you is: Does your spouse understand your love language and interprets your expression as intended?
