I agree. But I also like to think that the more loving, the more we deposit love units (Harley's terms) in to their love bank, the more likely the spouse is receptive to putting "love units" in our bank or the more receptive they might be to learning our love language if we educate them.

I am reminded of the wife who went to see the divorce attorney, telling him, "I want a divorce and I want to make my husband MISERABLE!!!" The attorney then tells her, "If that's what you want then lets hold off filing the divorce papers. First go home and cook him his favorite meal, pamper him. Take extra good care of yourself so that he can't live with out you. Treat him like a king, surprise him on a regular basis. Admire him, tell him you are the luckiest woman in the world. Then, when you know you've got him in the palm of your hands, come see me and we'll take him for everything he owns." A month later, the woman does not show for her appointment with the attorney. He gives her a call to ask her about filing for the D and she tells him, " Divorce?! Are you crazy? H has turned into THE greatest husband in the world. He's been buying me gifts, taking me out and our sex life is out of this world- I wouldn't divorce him if my life depended on it."

Ok, maybe its a bit of a fairy tale but I also still believe in Santa. C2H
