The Love Doctor

More than likely you've heard of the book, The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. I have heard people talk about this for years, but never looked into it until last night. I read the first couple of chapters, but was so anxious to find out what mine and Tom's love languages were, that I skipped to the questionnaire in the back. It's basically telling you how you like to be loved and what you respond to the best. The 5 languages are: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.

Surprise surprise, Tom and I are complete opposites.

My number 1 love language is Words of Affirmation, followed closely by Quality Time and Physical Touch.
Tom had a tie for his number 1 love language with Receiving Gifts and Acts of Service, followed by Physical Touch.

If you haven't read the book, I would recommend it. Usually you try to love somebody in the same way that you like to be loved, but that's not necessarily how they want to be loved. It's interesting stuff, and it could really improve your relationships. Looks like I need to buy my husband more presents...

Here is a pic of Tom and I from this weekend. We were invited to a fundraiser Valentine's dinner put on by a church youth group. It was pretty good. Here we are on the "Streets of Italy"...
