I
recently read Gary Chapman's book God Speaks your Love Language;
previously, I have read his book The Five Love Languages. I
highly recommend Gary Chapman's books because they are encouraging, motivating and informative.
For those
who have never heard of the concept the five love languages they are: words
of affirmation, quality time, gifts, touch and acts of service. Each
of these are ways we can express love to one another. Everyone
has one primary love language that speaks to them more deeply than
the others although we can all learn to speak and appreciate every
love language. One section of God Speaks your love language is how
your primary love language affects your worship and the way you
receive God's love for you. I think it is very helpful for
understanding why some people like and enjoy one religious activity
while others don't like it at all and enjoy other kinds of religious
activities.
By
knowing a person's love language you discover best how to communicate
love to them and you know how they are most likely to express their
love to you. My love language is quality time and there are many
ways I can express love through time to people and to God. I like to
write letters which embody more time and effort than other quicker
modes of communication. I like to take walks with people or travel
together so we can spend uninterrupted time together.
