Love languages?

I think it leaves out one. My love language is security. If I have security, if I can know that my loved one will not up and run off, then I feel most loved. I think a lot of today's women feel the same way, what with the divorce rate and unfaithfulness rate being so high anymore.

Although I have read the book, I can't see how it relates to Christ as a witnessing tool. After all, all those things mentioned require close relationship, and unsaved people don't have a close relationship with God. It might be something that is more useful as a growth resource, but even then, physical proximity is required. You can't hug God, so if your love language is touch, you're out of luck. And reading words of affirmation in the Bible isn't quite the samething as hearing them from the mouth of your beloved.

I think it is one of THE best "self help" books I have ever read.

While it is true, it is not MEANT to be a witnessing tool, it is a book that talks about different ways of showing love. Here in Florida, that book is extremely popular, and is heavily promoted in several churches as a book to help you understand you spouse, children, mother, father, etc.

What I loved is this.
My mother shows loves by gifts, which I could care less about. I always felt like she was trying to buy my love.
I am words of affirmation. I like to hear "I love you" and would have loved to hear that from my mother. When I discovered that book, it taught me that my mom was showing love in her love language, and it taught me that saying "I love you" a lot to her needed to be backed up with action, which for her is gifts.
I also noticed that my daughters is not mine, and neither is my husbands. Once I tapped into their love language, ALL of our relationships changed. When I make a new friend, I like to figure out their love language, and once I do, I know how to show them love.

I think it is a positively fabulous book that is a must read!!!

That is the way the women from the Philippines are. They prefer a older husband for a lot of different reasons, but mostly for security. They figure a older husband is not going to drinking, druging and running around. He is more secure with his job and profession. He is not going to go off and leave them for someone even younger than they are.

Sometimes they end up with more of a father than anything else. But that is fine with them, as long as they have food to eat, clothing to wear and a roof over their head. They are happy that they do not have to worry about their children going hungry, and that they will be provided for as far as their education and everything. Thanks, JohnR7
