| The love language

Today's sermon by Pastor Prince was really impactful. I'm not going to create a spoiler here cos it deserves us to actually sit down and listen to the whole sermon. But what impacted me the most was the bit about the love language. He spoke about how we express our gratitude and reciprocate the love that God has for us is through the tithe. We can always verbally say that all we have belong to Christ but not actually showing it through our actions. Just like how some people would say to their spouse "All my time is yours, baby." But not actually spending time with their spouse.
That got me thinking... are all women's love languages the same? Well, as different as all women look, so are their love languages. To some women, a bunch of flowers or a surprise box of chocolates. Or some women love their men to provide them with a credit card to swipe their shopping. Some women love more practical love gifts like washing machines, computers and other techy stuff.
So what is my love language? Like a majority of women, I think the most important love language for me would be spending quality time with the man I love. By having him close to me and we can just be doing nothing... that's when I feel most loved. It's not about getting him to get me loads of expensive gifts or money. Just the physical presence of him being around me is the best way for him to say 'i love you'. As the backstreet boys would sing it - just to be close to you. That's My love language.
To most men, they think making loads of money and working really hard outside is the best way to prove their love for their family but really when you come to think about it, men and women speak really different love languages. Sometimes this miscommunication of language makes the man and woman talk different and create strife.
Oh well, it takes time for the man and woman to actually tell each other what they really want in a relationship to make things work better in a marriage. Maybe its time for every one of us to find out what our spouse's love language is.
So... what is your love language?

We speak in our own form of Alien language. Hah :P Don't think anyone understands.
I mean when you truly know each other, a simple gesture and the other will know what to expect next. There's no need for exchange of words!

Been thinking abt ur theme for a few days. Men r by nature very single-minded which makes them focussed on their career n pleasures. Women on the other hand r nurturers which in turns contributes towards a wholesome home n a balance in marriages.
My hubby used to joke abt being the dept of fun while I shoulder the mundane side of runnng the household. Once when I was hospitalised for a week n then does he notices the many chores invovlved in running a household. I wished he had learned to think on the same wave-length n helped out without being told, but he's back to his old shelf. I guess he's spoilt by his mom who cleans after him n took care of all his needs when he was growing up. It never occurs to him that having his own home entails efforts n to care more for his other half.
To hv a man after our hearts is very rare indeed. I take comfort in knowing that I live a liberal life compared to women who r treated badly in conservative societies n r not free to think or act however much they wanted to.

@Sher.: hey babe! hope you and your family are well! I guess maybe you are right about the alien language. there just might be like a billion of these languages int the world. gosh.
@dutchie: wow... you thought about this theme for a few days? i'm very honored and agree with the points you make in the comments. I guess this is why God made a man and a woman - to complement and sometimes irritate the hell out of each other, so that they know a Higher Being is needed to bring them together.
