I wasn't sure if I mentioned it in my original post, but I also read the 5 love languages... or should I say "listened to it" - our library had it as an audio book. I devoured it in about a week of driving to work. I even converted it to CD (since my wife's car has a CD player) and gave it to my wife... she listened up to LL3 I think and has been too busy since then.
On the positive side, it did show me that she shows her love in HER way and that I can show her love in HER way. The only downside is that she did not get to hear LL5 (physical touch) from someone else other than me. She knows that I need physical touch but feels like it is just not in her capacity to give it on the frequency I need.
She is trying hard though. Last night I sat on the bed by her watching TV and she reached over and rubbed my back. It is her way of saying... "I see you are there beside me and I know you enjoy being touched..."
