I too have been trying to understand how to make myself HAPPIER. The books even say, get new friends, develop new hobbies, work out, etc. I do a lot of these things. I am as happy as I ever can be for myself. THe problem I see is that of the 5 love languages, 4 are emotional and one is emotional AND physical. THe 4 emotional languages can be satisfied in many ways. The language we are in, "Physical Touch" is very different. It REQUIRES THE FULL participation of our spouses, there are no substitutes. If my wife needs more converstation, she calls up a friend. If I need more touching, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO.
I guess what I am trying to say is that Corri's qoute is very good, no doubt, and it is something we all need to do more of. It just does not "FILL" me up enough.
