This week I read the first four chapters of "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. I am enjoying this book so far. It gives me the impression that this is a self help novel for married or serious couples because it is strategies and techniques to be more aware of your partner's needs.
Chapter 1 titled "what happends to love after the wedding", chapter two titled "keeping the love tank full" and chapter three, "Falling in love" are all geared toward making the reader aware that falling in love is the easy part that comes natural, but staying in love is hard work. People make the mistake of getting too comfortable in their relationship, so they start neglecting to do the very things that made their partner fall for them in the first place. We must continue to find creative ways to show our partner that our feelings still remain.
Chapter four introduced the very first language, words of affirmation. This love language is described as the type of person that enjoys receiving compliments and hearing their partner say how much they love them and how much they mean to them. This individual also shows that they love a person by wanting to share their feelings with them, and can become offended if their partner is not feeling their love cup with sweet nothings.
I read for thirty minutes each day Monday, Wednesday and Thursday this week. May 21, 23 and 24.
