Thanks for the plug – and my wife is definitely the quality time / service type. It’s more important that we spend time together, and that I help with the kids… not that she doesn’t like diamonds, cause she does – but if it were that vs. being home from work at a decent hour, the latter would surely win out.

I loved this read – thanks for the reminder. My hubby and I are both Words of Affirmation. Which works fabulous for us. We have a couple friends that are 100% Receiving Gifts and they think we are not “in love” as much as them, when we neglect to spend money on each other. I just smile, because we have it so darn good.

It is so true – we love to feel appreciated and loved, and that doesn’t mean it needs to be fancy and expensive. Heartfelt – better.

No doubt about it, my wife is the quality time type. That is why we are spending an evening together at home together for Valentine’s Day. We are going to cook dinner together and watch a sappy movie that she picks out.

I’ve tried the flowers, candy, and jewelry route and that is far less effective than being willing to swear off blogging, TV watching, and video games for a whole evening paying attention to her.

I tend to prefer the acts of service love language. There is nothing hotter than a coming home to a tidy house, home cooked meal, and back rub (which adds physical touch too).

I actually had to read a book called the five love languages for my pre-marital class…it outlined and explained all of the concepts above and amazingly they are spot on in my life!
