I finally took the online survey for the 5 languages of love site. Score breakdown as follows: Physical touch 10, Quality time 7, Words of affirmation 6, Acts of service 5 and Receiving gifts 2. Not unexpected for my relationship with my wife. Regarding physical touch, it's ironic that aside from my wife and kids, I am NOT a touchy feely person. Weird.
I haven't spent a lot of time looking thru the site yet, but I think the gist of it is to know how you and your spouse scores, and then express your love to your spouse in their language as opposed to yours. So if my wife scores highest for acts of service, she'll feel the most love from me if I'm doing things for her like putting gas in her car, making dinner, etc. It seems pretty simple.
Now I sent the link to my wife to see if she'll take it. She already told me she doubts she will. In some ways, it's like I'm the woman in the marriage while my wife is the guy. She sees no value in doing things like that. Oh well, I think I have a good understanding of her love languages anyways, hence why I didn't go out of my way to delve too much into it. But it would be nice if she would at least participate and do it too.
So, did I get the gist of it or is there a lot more to it in the book? Just curious.

Put the internet to work for you.
