My boyfriend decided he would buy me earrings for Christmas. The problem is that I don’t have my ears pierced. Also I don’t wear or really care for jewlery. Now, one would think that if he payed attention to what I do like then I would be happy. It just so happens that he didn’t know my love language. I can’t be upset because I didn’t know his love language either. For Christmas, I bought him a personalized wallet with his initials that was made out of deer and leather. It also had a shotgun shell on it. He’s not into sentimental gifts or just gifts in general. What was his love language?
5 love languages
Number 1. Gift giving. Receiving gifts make you happier than anything.
Number 2. Acts of service. It makes you most happy when someone does chores, favors, errands or just something for you that you don’t have to.
Number 3. Words of affirmation. You love getting compliments, or some sort of verbal praise more than anything.
Number 4. Physical touch. Your favorite thing is to be kissed, hugged, cuddle, sex, hold hands, or any other form of physical contact.
Number 5. Quality time. All you want to do is just simply spend time with one another. And that’s all you need.
It just so happens that my boyfriend’s love language is acts of service. He likes it when I do the dishes or laundry because he hates that stuff. It makes him happy when he has someone else so fill that need. My love language is quality time. I just want to spend as much time with him as I can. I don’t like feeling alone and it makes me happy when we can bond.
One might call me needy, but I need all 5 love languages. It’s nice to have a gift here or there, a kiss to remind me that I’m loved, the yard mowed because I don’t like doing it, a date night or a compliment. Quality of time may be my top one, but that doesn’t mean I don’t desire others. I believe that everyone needs these acts of love. It’s not just about take, but giving too. Figure out what love language you and your partner have. Try it. It just might save your relationship!
