Book Report (The Five Love Languages)
My wife and I both finished reading the book “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman. If you remember I won the book over at Truth for the Journey. I had heard of this book and from what everyone told me it was a “must read” for anyone who is married. After reading the book, I have to agree.
My wife and I have been married for almost 28 years. You can take off the “almost” come this Friday by the way. Anyway after that many years, you would think that we would know just about all there is to know about the other person wouldn’t you. Well that is mostly the case except when it comes to communicating to one another. The truth is we each speak different Love Languages and so our communicating over the years has often been non-communicating.
After I read the book it was obvious that my primary Love Language is “Words of Affirmation” followed by “Physical Touch”. My wife on the other has “Quality Time” as her primary Love Language followed several of the others. I guess women are just more complicated than men. Who would have thunk it? Anywho….
I highly recommend this book to any couple whether married or just dating. We have already taken some of the things in this book and put them into practice with positive results. We may just turn into love birds again. I put that in to gross my sons out. They hate that kind of talk.
We had a wonderful weekend by the way and got in some Quality Time yesterday. See you can teach an old dog new tricks. I got in a great workout this morning and changed it up a bit by upping the level of intensity on the machine I was on and did a sprint type workout.
Let’s all have a great week,
Greg

Happy early anniversary!!! Congrats on 28 wonderful years!
We need to read 5 Love Languages again, but mine is Words of Affirmation and my hubby's is Acts of Service.
Have a blessed week! Take your beautiful lady out for a coffee and maybe she'll whisper sweet nothings in your ear. ;)
Happy Anniversary!! Have a great week!
I've heard good things about that book. Happy anniversary!
Glad to see you're still hanging in there with the working out.
Ha ha at embarassing the boys!
You are I are the same... My hubby is more like your wife in the quality time.. and others.
So Greg, you are the greatest, and here's a ((((hug))))! Please return the favor... (((smile)))

We've been married 32 years and still are discovering things we didn't know about each other as new situations arise. But that is what keeps it interesting!
BTW--my husband loved your golf comment! He got his lowest score ever yesterday and I don't think I will hear the end of it.
You've got us beat by a few years. Our 26th will be in November.
I've heard of that book, but I've not read it. My hubby reads a LOT, so he most likely has read it.
I agree that we can always learn new things to improve our marriages. I hope you keep enjoying Quality Time with your sweetie.
:-)
happy anniversary!!!
