What Language Are You Speaking?
As we are looking for love in marriage and what love truly means it might be a good idea to look at some things that love can't do. In Gary Chapman's book, The Five Love Languages, he talks about how we send and receive love. We each have a love language and that is how we let others know we love them, but that is also how we feel love from others. Meaning if my love language is Quality Time then I so Heather that I love her by spending time with her. But what if her love language is Words of Affirmation? She is thinking man Pete spends a lot of time with me but he never tells me he loves me, he never tells me that he likes me, and he never tells me how beautiful I am. Pete on the other hand is thinking man Heather tells me all the time how much she cares but if she really cares then she would spend more time with me, I mean how can you love someone that you don't want to spend time with? See, they both love each other but they are communicating it in very different ways. Kinda like speaking totally different languages. And as you see love can't cross every language barrier. We have to learn to speak our spouses love language. And yes I changed mine and Heathers love language. Or did I?!?!?!
