Who am I and what do I want?

[JGuy]

I learned something interesting from a book called The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman yesterday, when it was mentioned on an episode of Personality Hacker podcast. There are 5 different ways of expressing love. Each of us has a tendency toward one of these ways. There can be a mismatch, which makes is harder, but not impossible for a couple to make it work. Out of curiosity, I rated the 5 love languages from most to least important to me. I then asked my W to rate them for herself. They are:

Acts of Service
Words of Affirmation
Gift Giving
Quality Time
Physical Touch

Physical touch was #1 on my list and it was #5 on my W's list. No wonder I feel so unloved! Acts of service was high on her list but in the middle for me. So that is one thing I can work on to show her love in the way she needs it.

Interesting.
