5 Love Languages. I speak English.
I had heard about them before, but under April’s suggestion, I revisited the 5 Love Languages by author Gary Chapman. And I took the assessment. And then I had Brian take the assessment. And this is what I learned:
1. In a tie for first scoring both a 10/12, my primary love languages are Quality Time and Personal Touch. Words of Affirmation came in third at 6, Receiving Gifts scored a 3 and Acts of Service 1. This makes sense. I need to be held, I love to be touched. And when Brian comes home, I jump all over him and demand a lot of skin contact. If it were up to me, I would never let go of his hand.
2. Brian’s primary language is also Quality Time, however his secondary language is Acts of Service. This makes a lot of sense. In retrospect, I see how he might have gotten hurt because of my lack of attention in this regard and also how his Acts of Service toward me may have not weighed as heavily with me as they do with him.
3. Acts of Service is my top relationship priority. Showing Brian that I love him using one of his strongest languages.
