Thought of e day: LOVE the right way...food for thought.
was on-ing the com..which would usually take abt 10mins or so before i can finally use it so i casually picked up the book lying on e table.."The Five Love Language for Singles"..
ok..it does sound abit weird n boring or even too old for moi to read BUT after flippin through a few pages..its lik so interesting!! really im not kidding. haha. here's some interesting stuff i read abt:
Two Stages of Romantic relationships
1. The obsessive stage - " Average lifespan of this stage of love is two years. During which we live under the illusion that the person with whom we are in love with is perfect..at least for us. Others see their flaws but we cannot. It all begins with what called "tingles." There's something abt the way the other person looks, e way he or she talks, the way he emotes, e way he carries himself that gives you a little tingle inside." an extract taken frm the section..
2. The convenant stage - "The obsessiveness we have had for each oterh begins to fade, and we recognize that there are other impt pursuits in life other in addition to pursuin each other. The illusions of perfection evaporates." .. " covenant love requires two factors: Knowledge or the nature of love and the will to love.
The problem is that by nature we tend to speak our own love language. That is, we express love to others in a language that would make us feel loved. But if it is not his or her primary love language, it will not mean to them what it would mean to us. Each person speaks his own languase and does not understand why the other does not feel loved. if we want the other person to feel loved, we must discover and learn to speak his/her primary love language.
Of the five love languages, each of us has a primary one. One of the five speaks more deeply to us emotionally than the other four. we can receive through all five, but if we don't receive our primary love language, we will not feel loved even though the person is speaking the other four."
The five are:
1. Words of affirmation
2. Acts of service
3. Gifts
4. Quality time
5. Physical touch
Which of these is ur primary love language??? *ponders*
If we learn to speak in other's love language..the world would probably be a much happier place=).
