Words of Affirmation
Quality Time
Gifts
Acts of Service
Physical Touch
I would have to say mine would definitely be words of affirmation and gifts. Sometimes acts of service, it just depends. My husbands would be physical touch :).
When I have worked hard all day long to clean the house I loan for my husband to come home and praise me for my hard work. He does very well with this but I have learned that it has been very important for me to communicate to him to do that because then he will wonder what he did wrong because I will be mad that he didn't say anything lol. I also believe I am this love language with simple things like a letter of gratitude, birthday wishes, a call from a close friend saying they miss me and etc. Then as for gifts its not because I want "stuff". I don't know why I feel so loved when people give me gifts. I guess I just feel so happy that someone thought of me. So those that are close to me you will notice I express how I love you the way that I feel most loved.
I wish I could feel loved in all five of these ways but its not that simple. I am learning that I have to understand that even those that I love don't express their love to me in those ways that they still love me. I have to keep reminding myself that I have to communicate that to my husband too. But not just that, my husband has to remind me how he feels most loved. I am so grateful for my husband and how caring and thoughtful and what a good communicator he is. I am so lucky!
