Last Sunday, I was able to listen to the sharing of our area pastor (Pastor Bert) about the Five Love Languages. Well, I think it wasn't planned that he should be there in our dgroup meeting but anyway his presence is always very welcome. He was the officiating pastor in our dgroupmate's wedding recently so the topic of conversation was related to LCM (Love, Courtship and Marriage). I think we had an overview of what a pre-marital counseling is minus the partner (haha!).
Pastor Bert shared about the Five Love Languages. I know it is a book title by Gary Chapman (hehe, it's in my book-buy-list but I wasn't able to buy it for some reasons). Anyway, in a short span of time, Pastor Bert was able to explain briefly what are the Five Love Languages. Though the Five Love Languages was originally meant for a husband-wife relationship, love is applicable to all our relationships so as the Five Love Languages as well.
5 T's of Five Love Languages:
Time - spending quality time
Task - acts of service
Treat - giving gifts
Talk - words of affirmation/encouragement
Touch - hug, kiss, pat at the back, etc.
Every person has his/her primary love language. He/she feels loved when you "speak" to him/her through his/her love language. Some people feel loved when you speak to them with words of affirmation/encouragement. Others feel loved when you serve them. Some feel loved when you give them gifts. Others feel loved when you spend quality time with them. And others feel loved when you hug, kiss or touch them. Knowing the love language of your partner, your friend, your siblings, your parents or anyone dear to you will help you make certain adjustments to the way you "speak" to them. If you "speak" in their love language, you will express your love for them better. I think generally for most parents, their primary love language is task. So they appreciate more their kid's act of service like cooking breakfast for them or doing household chores instead of giving them gifts. :)
I know that love seems like a complicated thing. But I think it's not bad to try loving the people you love better. ;)
