With more than 30 years of experience as a marriage counselor, Dr. Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages has helped couples at every stage of marriage and at pivotal points in their relationships. After many years of counseling, Dr. Chapman noticed a pattern: everyone he had ever counseled had a “love language,” a primary way of expressing and interpreting love. He also discovered that, for whatever reason, people are usually drawn to those who speak a different love language than their own. Of the countless ways we can show love to one another, five key categories, or five love languages, proved to be universal and comprehensive—everyone has a love language, and we all identify primarily with one of the five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.
Since The 5 Love Languages® debuted in 1992, over seven million copies have been sold, making The 5 Love Languages® a perennial New York Times bestseller.

my love language is quality time. i guess that makes sense since i love to spend time with people. especially if i'm dating them. i show everyone i love my love language by taking the time to listen to them and hanging out with them all the time, especially if they need someone there for them.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is ACTS OF SERVICE, this is so true. Quality Time and Physical Touch are tied at a close second. I would rather someone lend a helping hand then to buy me gifts, its the little things that someone does to make my day a little easier that mean the most to me. It is easy to go to the store and buy a girft but it is difficult to take time out of your day to get my oil change or cook dinner for me.
ReplyDeleteQuality time is my main love language. It is certainly true because I like being around those I love and doing things with them rather than them getting me things. Words of affirmation and acts of service are tied for second. I can tell it is pretty accurate because this is usually how I show others I care for them.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is physical touch , physical touch is very important to me even if it is holding hands or something small like that because it makes me feel like there is a connection with my husband no matter what.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is physical touch, and I would agree with this completely because my boyfriend and I love doing the small stuff like holding hands and hugging. It just means a lot to me too.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is Quality Time, and I do agree. I always love to spend time with my boyfriend even if it's just going grocery shopping. I cherish every moment I spend with him because every moment we spend together means more to me than anything else in the world. it's how our memories are made so one day we can share them with our children.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is Quality Time, it fits me pretty well. I enjoy spending time with the people I care about more than anything. Life is too short to take things for granted, I try to cherish every moment. The test was pretty accurate.
ReplyDeleteMy love language was quality time. I agree with the results because I enjoy small get togethers with a few close friends at a time because it makes it easier to communicate with one another and enjoy each others company better as well. I also agree with how the rest of the languages ranked (affirmation, acts of service, gifts, physical touch)

ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time and i would have to agree with that whole heartily. Quality time is so important to me because I have lost too many friends and relatives early and not having enough memories with them to cherish them. I try to spend as much quality time with those that are still in this world as much as possible because you never know when time may be cut short.
ReplyDeletemy love language is quality time. that is when you have time to make memories and to talk about personal feelings or interests.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is Quality Time, I can say that I actually agree with this. I love spending time with someone that I am interested in. Especially when it comes to my boyfriend. I love being around someone that always makes me laugh and just happy in general.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time. Words and gifts can have a lot of meaning behind them but what is more important to me is having that someone there next to me whenever I need them. Time spent with people that I enjoy being around is honestly better than any gift.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time. I agree with this completely. I love being with my special person and having their undivided attention. I feel like being with someone and having that time together is way better than hearing "i love you" or receiving gifts. Yeah gifts are cool and all but having that person there with you makes everything better than a gift.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time. I can definitely see this along with the others too. But yes I do like when someone is not distracted and can look at me while we are talking and listen. My ex-boyfriend used to never do anything. We were home bodies and we just lay around all day and watch movies and just talk about everything or just enjoy time together.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time and receiving gifts. I can agree to this because I like buying a nice gift for my girlfriend and then spend time with her. I don't really care if I receive a gift or not just as long as she liked what I got for her.
ReplyDeleteMy two love languages are physical touch and quality time. I think this is because my fiance and I are always apart when we do see each other we are constantly holding hands or hugging and we enjoy every single moment we get to spend with one another because it means so much to us in the little amount of time we get. When him and I are together it is extremely important to us to be right next to each other and telling each other how much we mean to one another. I totally agree with my love languages.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time, which I find very fitting to my personality because for me I don't need to get reassurance from a hug or kiss about someone’s feelings for me. I think that if you’re crazy enough to want to spend time with me in person talking, laughing, and just hanging out for hours on end then you must really like me.
ReplyDeleteMy love language was quality time. I'd say this is accurate because I do like spending time with the people I love even if it is for a short time. I will make time for someone if I really care for them.
ReplyDeleteMy love language was physical touch, which I find to be true. Since my man and I are apart so much due to the fact that he's government property and such (he's in the military), I definitely appreciate and want as much "physical touch" from him when I get to see him. Basic things like holding hands or having him hug me from behind mean so much more than they did before just because it's all so limited and we don't get to do that much. I don't need gifts from him to know that I'm loved, and I dont necessarily need him telling me that he loves me for me to know it (even though it's always nice to hear). Quality time was my second one, which is also very fitting since we don't get to spend much time together. I've learned to appreciate the small things and not to take anything for granted :)
ReplyDeleteMy love language was quality time which i agree with. I personally find it annoying when people constantly touch you to show affection and usually end up telling people not to touch me. I like my own space. I like spended quality time with people because thats the only way to truely learn more about someone
ReplyDeleteMy love language was between quality and acts of service which I find to be true. for example I love spending time with my boyfriend especially because we are doing a long distance relationship, so when we see each other we make the best of our time. When it comes to acts of service we used to cook and clean together every time when we had our own place because we worked all day and when we were home we took that time to be together and catch up.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time. When I truly care for someone I like to give them my undevided attention and show to them that I am interested in hearing what they have to say. I also like when people give me the respect and do the same thing to me.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time. I feel like their is no greater gift you can give someone than simply just giving them your time. Actions speak louder than words most of the time and spending time with someone is more valuable than just receiving any gift. If someone else is willing to give up their time to spend with you, they obviously care for you.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time, and it means that I enjoy spending time and interacting with my friends and loved ones. I have to admit that this is something that I notice in my everyday life. If you're close to me than I tend to spend a lot of time with you. My best friend Jesika and my boyfriend Caleb know this first hand. I see my friend Jesika about 4 times out of the week, and the same with my boyfriend. I also try to give time to my friends and boyfriend as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is physical touch, i believe this is because of any strong and passionate sexual and nonsexual types of physical touch my love language aims for me to acquire. I also believe physical touch can be categorized so because I simply cannon fathom concepts of touch other than the sexual and nonsexual ones.
ReplyDeleteMine was quality time. I think this is very accurate because I think there's is nothing more special than spending time with our loved ones. Yes gifts can be nice and they are good for remembering special events but nothing feels better than actually making those memories by spending time with someon
ReplyDeleteI'm not supprised with my test results because it said my love language is quality time. I really do like to spend quality time with my friends, family and my girlfriend when I'm in a relationship. Being around that special person is very important and I can literally spend all day everyday with her. Id rather talk to her in person than over the phone or a text. Actions speak louder than words in my eyes, so giving that physical affection is a must for me. You truly know what kind of person they are when they want to spend time with you rather than do anything else. An example of showing my love language was surprising my girlfriend at her door with flowers, taking her to dinner at a nice restaurant, and then brought her to a Spurs game with Box VIP seats. It was a good way to spend quality time with her and really show that I did love her.
ReplyDeleteMy love language is quality time, because I enjoy spending time with my friends and loved ones. I'd rather spend quality time with my friends and family rather than spending time by myself. I don't know anyone who doesn't like spending time with their loved ones because the time you spend with them is creating new memories together.
ReplyDeleteMy love language was quality time. I agree with this although presents and touch are nice too. I enjoy spending good quality time with the people i love. I think that is one of the most important aspects to do in life, spend quality time with your loved ones. I try to see and spend a good amount of my time with my grandma, i can see how it effects her in how she knows that i love and care for her tremendously.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Quality Time is the love language of most of you! I hope this translates into spending some quality time in class to show me how much you "love" this class!!! :)
ReplyDeletemy love language is acts of service. service really shows to me that a person really loves me. the deeds that a person can come up with on their own with out having to ask. that is how i see and feel love from a person.
ReplyDeleteMy love language turned out to be quality time, which doesnt surprise me. Spending time with someone I am into and who has my attention i enjoy going out, hanging out and doing things together.
