Five Love Languages

I finished Dr. Gary Chapman's "Five Love Languages" yesterday. It was very interesting. According to him, everyone expresses love in one of five different languages: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. For instance, one person might feel more loved when their partner spends time with them, while another person might prefer if their partner does the dishes or the laundry. It was very enlightening, especially when you realize that you tend to love your partner in your love language, which might not be theirs, so even though you think you're showing them how much you love them, they aren't getting it because it's not how they understand or receive love. It made a lot of sense.
