Hey guys, the second post in a week...goodness!
I first heard about the love languages in a church a couple of years ago. In essence it is just about the different ways people express love and affection, I think knowing your love language and that of your partner can be very crucial as it can make or break a deal. There are five types of love languges and most people have a combination of love languages. In his book, the five love languages Gary Chapman writes beautifully about this. The five love languages are--
Words of affirmation
This is when you say how nice your spouse looks, or how great the dinner tasted. These words will also build your mate's self image and confidence.
Quality Time
Some spouses believe that being together, doing things together and focusing in on one another is the best way to show love. If this is your partner's love language, turn off the TV now and then and give one another some undivided attention.
Gifts
It is universal in human cultures to give gifts. They don't have to be expensive to send a powerful message of love. Spouses who forget a birthday or anniversary or who never give gifts to someone who truly enjoys gift giving will find themselves with a spouse who feels neglected and unloved.
Acts of Service
Discovering how you can best do something for your spouse will require time and creativity. These acts of service like vacuuming, hanging a bird feeder, planting a garden, etc., need to be done with joy in order to be perceived as a gift of love.
Physical Touch
Sometimes just stroking your spouse's back, holding hands, or a peck on the cheek will fulfill this need.
I think mine would be a combination of acts of service and physical touch, what is yours?

We have this book and it is really helpful because it hits the right spots.
very true! these love languages do exist. i think couples must be able to identify theirs and communicate it to each other. nice read.
Survival group against God?? LOL. Good luck with that. Truth is, no one knows the exact time this will happen except the man upstairs, however, I firmly believe that there are people placed here by God that post the warning signs and it's up to you to take heed.
