This week I'll be speaking at Enrichment Night (monthly meeting for the ladies at church) with a review/introduction to this book. Has anyone read it? If you have any comments on your love language or that of your children or family members, let me know. I'm compiling some real-life stories/examples to use for the lesson. Oh, and I'm expanding it to fit for anyone, not just married couples. The author has written this book for children, teens, singles and married folks. We'll be talking about how understanding love languages can help enrich all relationships. Thanks for your input!

Is this a "class" or the "lesson" before we break into smaller classes? I signed up for the cupcake one... I do not know my love language, maybe that's my problem!!
Ah yes... the lovely love languages. Actually, Josh and I talk about them often. Well, it's more like I talk about them often and he listens and responds. Our problem is probably like so many other people. Because our love languages are different, we think that giving/showing love the way WE want to receive it will work for the other person. It doesn't. I have to consciously remind myself to do things for Josh that I wouldn't necessarily want for myself but that I've learned make him feel loved. The other thing I noticed is that no one person can fit into only one love language. Although one of the languages might be the BEST... it's like the talk from Elder Oaks on good, better, and best things. There are other things (or languages) that also make that person feel loved, they just might be the good or better ones. So, changing it up is good. :) It keeps everyone on their toes and makes life a bit more exciting.
I'm super excited about your lesson! I can't wait.
haven't read it...heard about it, but never read it...
I think Kristie Kerr has read it!
i'd love to come listen to your class!
What an amazing book, we read it years ago!!! It really does help to know what language speaks to your family, spouse, etc. The most interesting thing we have noticed is, that as we grow and mature our languages change. The language we needed in our young married life was much, much different than the language we speak to each other now. Like love languages with an accent! LOL!
Love the book!!! i want to get the kids one, although i am pretty sure garren is words of affermation and greyson is physical touch, but we will see.
One breakthrough we had was when grady realized we devolp our language when we were growing up. His thougthts were, if you could change your language to touch we would both win. But only you win when i do the dishes. it's a nice reminder for me to scratch his back and for him to take out the trash. i and agree, it's good for all languages.
