languages of love

Has anyone ever read this book?  And taken the survey? 

I didn't read the book, but I took the survey tonight.

Here is a link, but I'm not sure if it's exactly the same.

I had a three way tie with words of affirmation, acts of service, and gifts.  The other categories are quality time and physical touch.

Re: languages of love

  • I read it for marriage counseling.

  • I just took the test & got a 3 way tie and another being only a point away. Does that make me needy?

  • I read this during premarital counseling, and loved the book. This is something that H and I often go back to. I think reading the book depends the test results and helps your really relate to one more than the others (in the event you have a tie)
  • I'd be interested in reading this book. My H and I are definitely different types, so I think it would be good to understand how the other one works. I took the test and was exactly what I thought I would be.

    Recently, a mom of four told me she used this concept with her children, because all 4 of them were different types. Being able to give them love in the way they each individually needed it made a huge difference..

  • I have the book. It's collecting dust on my bookself. I took the quiz, I scored  an 8, 9, & 10.. does that make me needy? 8 (words of affirmation) 9 (physical touch) 10(quality time)..

    dang if there weren't a lot of questions about receiving gifts.

    ETA: I guess there were a lot of questions about everything, but it seems liked every question had a gifts answer

  • Is it too much to ask for my husband to listen to me vent about my day while he helps with the dishes, and then tell me I look hot/funny/brilliant and lead to me the bedroom to give me multiple orgasms before reaching under the bed and pulling out a thoughtful gift he bought me "just because"?

    LOL!  Yes.  :)

    Can I at least get four out of five?  Or if I settle for a single orgasm?  Seriously, who doesn't want ALL of these things? 

  • LoL I was thinking the same thing about myself, but I think it's the opposite.  We are more easy to please, since we can be made happy in multiple ways.

  • We weren't required to read any books during our premarital counseling. 

    I will read the book, eventually.

  • I agree that this would be very useful information in a marriage or with your children.  It's the same reason I give my students and parents a little survey at the beginning of each year to find out what they like, don't like, etc., so I can reward and/or punish them in a way that is meaningful to them as an individual.

  • I agree with there being a lot of gift questions!  I noticed it cause my friends that I took it with told me that they thought I would be gifts before we took it.  At first I was offended, thinking this made me seem shallow or greedy, but then when I thought about it, I realized it is true.  When someone gives me something if it is something that is way not my taste or like a generic gift I feel hurt or offended, like they didn't care enough about me to take the time to pick something out specifically for me.  Where as if it's something I would pick out myself I feel like they really care.  When I buy gifts for people (which I love to do)  I really stress over getting what is right for them.

  • My H and I are currently reading the book.  We were heading down a really bad path, but things are starting to look up.  Our kids (having 3 under 1.5 at one point) took over our lives and we really lost each other along the way.  My husband is actually excited about ready the book, but told me he would nver admit that to anyone but me.  I will take the quiz and send it to him.
