I love my husband all the time. He makes me laugh daily, which is the best medicine! Sure there are times I want to scream when he does something that "isn't pleasing" to me. But I still love him.
Last fall I read "The Five Love Languages". It really opened my eyes as to how I show my love for people (especially Scott), and how others show their love.
Scott was an easy one to figure out. His main love language is physical touch. I know this, he knows this. My love language is definitely NOT physical touch. If you know me at all, I actually really dislike being touched. So how we have been together for just shy of 16 years is purely a blessingnof God.
My love language was a little harder for me to figure out. I narrowed it down to two. Words of affirmation and acts of kindness. I think my main language is acts of kindness. I like to help people and do nice things, like bake a treat to share. I really like it though when Scott does things around the house...without being asked a million times.
Tonight he was singing my language! He fixed a light fixture, replaced light bulbs, and unclogged a drain. I was smitten as a kitten. Now if only I could put my likes and dislikes aside for a while and speak his love language more often.
Babe- thanks for speaking my language tonight! You are remarkable and I am so proud of your strength and willpower the past couple of days.
