Andy took today's meeting, basing it on 1 Corinthians 13 and parts of Gary Chapman's book 'The Five Love Languages'. Andy used the audio book version and played a couple of sections to us.
According to Gary the five love languages are quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Each of us will major in one of these, showing love mainly in this particular way and looking for it to be returned in the same way. When we and our partner have different primary love languages we may both have difficulty feeling loved. We need to learn to 'speak one another's language'.
Kevin explained that he and his wife run a marriage preparation course at their church and have used the five love language principles very effectively with many young people.
Do you know what your love language is, Chris?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think so. But that's really all I'm going to say.
