Solidarity, sister!

I need to have the Council of Nicaea surrounding me.

My pastor’s daughter used to place a New Testament on the front seat of the car between herself and her date. She figured no fella would be bold enough to climb over Matthew, Mark, Luke AND John to get to her!

And honey… physical touch includes hugs from your roomie and your friends and your family. And I can tell you the human touch is powerful. Patients in my office often comment about how the doctor patting their arm or hand, etc. is reassuring. Don’t give up on that language just yet!

As Dr. Walker used to say… AMen, AMen, and AMen.

I couldn’t quit laughing reading this. And reading the other Jenn C’s comment cracked me up too.

We have the same love languages, but I refuse to move from physical touch. I’m sure my husband will appreciate that. Whoever he is.

Oh ladies, ladies, ladies. Once you’re married it moves on to taking out the trash & mowing the lawn. THAT is my love language. Seriously. Nothing gets me hotter than a beautiful lawn & a clean garbage can. And not having to ASK for it to be done…well that’s an added bonus.

All joking aside – mine is compliments, but that’s few & far between, so I settle for the trash thing.

It’s hard when the love language you speak, is the farthest thing, from the love language your husband wants to receive. Makes for some hard work I tell ya.

I swear to you, I was going to say EVERYTHING that Mandy just said.

While we were dating, I wanted gifts and physical touch. Now…

If I walk in the house and my hubby has his hands in some soapy dirty dishwater… watch out! That is SERIOUSLY the biggest turn-on.

AND… learning to love him (and receive his love) in his language is like… well… like learning another language. It’s difficult in the beginning, and there are miscommunications along the way… but we’re getting “conversational” now – after five years of dating and four years of marriage. Haha.

Ditto to what Brandy said! Joey got me a card for Mothers Day that said, ” Sit down and relax while I do this dishes, I know what turns you on!” I loved it!

You are too funny Amy Beth! Didn’t have time to post the other day… my love language (giving) is words of affirmation and physical touch. It always takes my fourth graders a couple of months to get used to me rubbing all over their arms and hair and hugging them all day! My receiving is words of affirmation… so sometimes I am sensitive when others don’t meet the standards I set for myself. I am always the note writer, caller…. etc. But I will say that for the first time in my life, my new colleague is a gift giver… and boy is she ever. It blows my mind!! I always feel so guilty when she pops up with a itunes card “just because.” Have a super cal day!

My love language is physical touch. I can’t stand to go a day without a hug, kiss, and touches! It’d kill me! My husband on the other hand, we’ve decided could go his entire life without a hug. but do some act of service for him and he is one “happy camper”…once you know the other persons love language so many things in marriage just “fall into place”!

I love getting compliments, although I get kind of embarrassed when I do get them because I don’t like to be in the spotlight. I like getting cards too. Almost anything on paper (or on the computer ) really impacts me.

Brandi T is right. It takes awhile to learn his totally foreign love language. We’ve been together for nearly 14 years, and married over 11. The conversation is good, but still we still have a bit of “writer’s block” at times.

And Cindy is right…he’ll be a lucky man.

My love language is acts of service. If I love you, I will do so much for you. My husband’s love language is giving. Once we figured out what the other’s was, it made things so much easier. But I’m with Mandy. It’s sad how happy I was that my husband cleaned the George Foreman grill the other night. I just hate cleaning it, so when I went to clean it, I was THRILLED to see that it was already clean.

Hi – I found your blog through Works for Me Wednesdays, and have already decided to keep reading.

But. I have to say that I love, love, love this post title (single Christian woman here, and I just turned 30). I’m going to steal it and find a way to work it into a conversation with friends, so they will all laugh and think that I’m hilariously funny and very clever.
