Do any of you ladies know about the 5 love languages? I’ve been reading up on it for a while now and man does it really help you understand the relationship you’re in. My husbands language is Act of Service. My husband didn’t buy me anything today. But I tell you what he did do. Woke up at 6. Went to Wal-Mart. Made me breakfast, took me out for lunch and we just finished eating dinner he prepared and it was 🤤 today I managed to run errands and take a well needed nap cause he had my son all day. And tonight 😝 I ll be receiving a full body massage.everyone has a different way of expressing their love. You just have to figure out their language. ♥️
I love that book and what you mentioned is very true. We love in our own language and not always in the way the other person wants to be loved.
@mar_la, I agree.. either they seem to act like that or smother us lol
@joyfulmom2b, that definitely sounds like a guy thing. Lol
@mar_la, I feel bad asking for attention for mine when he’s got nothing going on lmao he just kinda has no idea what to do or doesn’t feel comfortable showing it.. like it’s a weakness or something
@joyfulmom2b, right there with you. I appreciate it but I also wish there was more of it.i feel bad telling my husband “give me attention” when he has so much going on.
I always feel like small gestures or actions from your SO is so much more then buying a expensive dinner or gift.. like that’s what I want, my SO isn’t very romantic or even good at comforting, or showing affection but when he tries it means so much. Moments that I hold onto and never forget, just wish there was more of it.
@prettyflower1033, I agree! My husband is one of those that’s not really good with words and surprisingly I like words. I like to be told certain things, be praised with certain things and just an occasional you mean the world to me will literally light my day.
@mar_la I have read it once when I was single and I'm thinking about reading it again. Most men are good with words but I'm all about actions then it helps my relationship a lot once I started talking more to my Husband about the things that I like the most or which gestures mean so much to me and I was so appreciative of how much love it has shown to me today is so many ways
@lovelily, Yes your man is definitely the Prince Charming. My husband is not a romantic at all and I’m a full blown romantic. That’s why reading that book has helped me tremendously because even though he doesn’t go all out. He shows his love the best way he knows how.
@lulu85_18, Yes! Took me a while to understand that.
My husband does all....physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service....he is a romantic and absolutely loves to show his love for me. It blows me away. This is the man women say does not exist and yet I have him. He told me to sleep in this morning, he has the baby under control. He cleaned the house. Took me to dinner last night and lunch today. Repeatedly told me Happy Mother's Day and I love you. Hugs me and kisses me and holds my hand. And it's not just "today" it's ALL THE TIME. God I feel like I don't deserve this man but I am blessed to have him. ♥
@mar_la I think every couple needs to read that book!
@daniel-mommy, Awww mama I’m so sorry. You should definitely tell him something and maybe things will turn around.
