Quote: Evidently recreational companionship is a biggy on my wanta meter. Even *I* think it sounds goofy
I do not think this sounds goofy anymore then I think my saying I want to have a person to have a real indepth relationship not just a sex life with sounds goofy. It may not be want everyone cares about but that is what makes us all different.
Chrissy, when you think of in-depth relationship, I believe you had mentioned deeper conversations. Are you wanting personal revelation type conversations, or are you thinking more of the philosophical type meaning of life sorts?
I've been reading through The Five Love Languages again and ran across the category that seems to speak to me the most. "Quality Activities". Here's a couple of quotes:
"Quality activities may include anything in which one or both of you has an interest. The emphasis is not on what you are doing but on why you are doing it. The purpose is to experience something together, to walk aay from it feeling "He cares about me. He was willing to do something with me that I enjoy, and he did it with a positive attitude." That is love, and for some people it is love's loudest voice. ...One of the by-products of quality activities is that they provide a memory bank from which to draw in the years ahead. Fortunate is the couple who remembers an early morning stroll along the coast, the spring they planted the flower garden, the time they got poison ivy chasing the rabbit through the woods, the night they attended their first major league baseball game together, the one and only time they went skiing together and he broke his lead, the amusement parks, the concerts, the cathedrals, and oy, yes the hike. They can almost feel the mist as they remember. Those are the memories of love, especially for the person whose primary love language is quality time." __________
I especially am drawn to the phrase, "they provide a memory bank from which to draw in the years ahead."
