Love Languages

[trentlogain2]

So a man named Gary Chapman wrote a book called The Five Love Languages. Have you heard of it? If you haven't, check it out here: The Five Love Languages

My question to all of you is which is your primary love language?

1. Words of Affirmation?
2. Spending quality time?
3. Receiving gifts?
4. Acts of Service?
5. Physical Touch?

Mine is probably Acts of Service.

It's a great book! I actually have two primary love languages...physical touch and spending quality time.

 

[trentlogain2]

Which version have you read? The book for couples or singles? I think I might check the singles version out from the library, but I'm wondering what the differences are between the two besides the obvious.

 

[lostaquarium]

Is this talking about how you prefer to show love? I've never heard of the book before. Sounds interesting

Probably quality time and words of affirmation, followed by physical touch. I haven't had a chance to read the book yet.

 

[Balugon]

I skimmed through it very quickly, and it didnt really see anything new to me, besides the fact that some people might be quite oriented to one area, which is something i would have to watch out for.

I dont feel like taking the quiz, and i dont really know what my primary love language is. I would think it would be either physical touch or words of affirmation, but in practice may differ.

 

[Luther073082]

Time, touch and service are probably my top 3.

But I do use all of them.

Physical touch and words of affirmation are tied for my number 1. In close second comes quality time, then acts of service and lastly...receiving gifts. Receiving gifts got a whopping zero while the other four were pretty close.

I've read the singles version and highly recommend it. It has chapters that deal with dating and non-romantic relationships, which the original doesn't since it was written with married couples in mind.

My number one love language is acts of service, followed closely by quality time.

 

[Tamara224]

I have a tie for first place: spending quality time and physical touch. Next comes acts of service. Words of affirmation and gifts tie for last place.

It's a great book! I actually have two primary love languages...physical touch and spending quality time.

Same with me, I believe when I took the test at the back of the book I scored the same for the two, if not the same then there was one point difference. I find it pretty accurate.

Which version have you read? The book for couples or singles? I think I might check the singles version out from the library, but I'm wondering what the differences are between the two besides the obvious.

I've read both versions and they are very similar. The one for singles just uses different examples as to show the different languages than in the one for married couples. At least that's the only difference that I remember, it's been quite a while since I've read either of them.

 

[~Beauty_from_Pain~]

My top two would be Quality time and physical touch, followed by words of affirmation. Recieving gifts is my last.

I actually have two primary love languages...physical touch and spending quality time.

Same here.

 

[radhead]

Time and Attention. I like the way they have renamed this one to include both Time and Attention.

I'm not sure what would be next. It depends on the other person, really.

 

[yam]

I read that book a couple of weeks ago the singles edition adn i learn a lot.
1. Quality time
2. Physical touch
3. Gifts/words of Affrimation( Tie)
4. Act of service

 

[Starcradle]

Physical touch, quality time, and words of affirmation are my primary love languages.

 

[septemberskies]

I took the test before. Number 1 for me was physical touch and runner up was words of affirmation

 

[PeculiarTreasure]

My top two are Words of Affirmation and Quality Time.
