Love Language

With February right around the corner it only seemed approriate for me to use this weeks 12x30 challenge post for my love language.  Note that this was also a super secret hint to you people to start thinking about those Valentines day plans and get some reservations made.   I am kind of thanking my lucky stars we don't really celebrate nor exchange gifts for this holiday.  And now the results...

Acts of Service

Can vacuuming the floors really be an expression of love? Absolutely! Anything you do to ease the burden of responsibilities weighing on an "Acts of Service" person will speak volumes. The words he or she most want to hear: "Let me do that for you." Laziness, broken commitments, and making more work for them tell speakers of this language their feelings don't matter. Finding ways to serve speaks volumes to the recipient of these acts.

Quality Time

In the vernacular of Quality Time, nothing says, "I love you," like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there – with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby – makes your significant other feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful. Quality Time also means sharing quality conversation and quality activities.

Receiving Gifts

Don't mistake this love language for materialism; the receiver of gifts thrives on the love, thoughtfulness, and effort behind the gift. If you speak this language, the perfect gift or gesture shows that you are known, you are cared for, and you are prized above whatever was sacrificed to bring the gift to you. A missed birthday, anniversary, or a hasty, thoughtless gift would be disastrous – so would the absence of everyday gestures. Gifts are visual representations of love and are treasured greatly.


And I got those three little items almost equally.  My overall feelings towards them, they are pretty spot on. Since I believe in doing things for others, ensuring I spend quality time with everyone, and love thoughtfulness of gift giving.  The gift giving one is probably the highest of the three.  There is just something about a gift that is given to someone when you can tell that they know you and put effort into it or vice versa.  I seriously love getting fun gifts that people love too.
