Remember when you first met your spouse? You were excited, giddy, and thought about him/her all the time (sometimes to the detriment of your job). You just couldn’t wait to see him/her again. When you married, you thought you’d always feel ‘in-love’. You wouldn’t be like the 40% of people getting married, then ending the relationship a few years later. No sir, this marriage would be different. Then, two years later, you ‘woke up’ or ‘came back to earth’ and that ‘in-love’ feeling just wasn’t there anymore.
Gary Chapman’s book, The 5 Love Languages, explains that the ‘in-love’ feeling is a temporary emotional high and how you must pursue ‘real-love’ with your spouse once the ‘in-love’ emotion has passed. The book explains that each of us has a different way of feeling loved, which is our personal “Love Language”. These Love Languages are: Words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, quality time and physical touch. The gender specific questions at the end of the book helps you to determine you & your spouses “Love Language” so you will understand each other’s unique needs, learn the right language & know the profound satisfaction and joy of being able to express your love.
