Meme stolen from [personal profile] elphaba_of_oz

Hmmm.... I wouldn't necessarily disagree with the outcome. I DO do the Acts of Service thing and the Touch thing in relationships. Not necessarily PDA kissing, but the touch/hug in passing thing. The for me to be comfortable expressing myself by touching someone, I have to feel emotionally intimate and connected with them. So, not as many people get to see THAT side of me.

But I dislike the dualistic format, EITHER/OR. Some of them, I thought, well both...depending on the day, what's going on, and whether the moon is full and Jupiter is rising. Or whatever. I'm not about getting gifts. There's family stuff tied into that. But I DO like giving gifts. I like making things for people I care about, thinking about them WHILE making the gift and then giving it to them. But when I give something, it's without strings. I don't expect them to give me something in return, treasure it always, thank me in 15 years or love me any more. It's about expressing the love I have FOR that person.

But I digress.

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.
