to take your quiz

The 5 major ones are:

*Words of affirmation
*Acts of service
*Receiving gifts
*Quality time
*Physical touch



I scored high on Words of affirmation, Quality time and Physical touch. The next one was receiving gifts, and pretty much nothing for acts of service (although I like those too). It's a priority thing I guess, as to what gives me the experience of feeling loved.

What are yours?

    I just took this quiz last week - was overwelmingly "quality time".

    Was it bad I immediately told my ex-husband the results? hehe (Him doing nothing but spending time on the computer playing games 24/7 was a huge part of why I wanted to end our 20 yr marriage. And no, it wasn't really that weird I told him - we are still very good friends so talk all the time and he had recently read a book that was kind of along the same lines so it was a relevent comment. (but still felt good to tell him)).

    I think it's really good for a relationship to know each other's love language. That way you can interpret each other correctly and know how the other is showing love to you in their own way, plus to make the effort to show love to the other in a way that registers the most for them.

    For example, my husband loves physical touch the most, followed by quality time together. And because those 2 things are high on my list as well we're matched up there. I touch him ALL the time, and he's like a sponge, never gets enough. lol! I'm always touching, massaging, scratching his head and back, etc. We also spend a lot of quality time together. Words are not nearly as meaningful to him as they are to me and a lot of times he might think something in his head but just not say it. And there are times I really want to hear the words but don't get them. So I can recognize that it's not that he's not being loving, it's just that this is not his style of showing it as much, and then I can look for the signs with which he shows me love. And if I need to hear certain words I just come out and ask him, directly. lol! We can get our needs met without drama and manipulation. :)

    Your Scores

    9 Words of Affirmation
    4 Quality Time
    2 Receiving Gifts
    9 Acts of Service
    6 Physical Touch

    Yeah, kinda figures for me. Work is demanding of my time and being closer to the top of the food chain there is more focus on responsibility for errors and problems than on praise for anything. I guess deep down I like (or maybe crave that) from my wife. Acts of service also help me not feel like I am overwhelmed. In the last year I have been able to express that better to her and we've really been doing MUCH better with my top three and her top three. her big one is quality time.

    Physical touch was a big one for both of us...and boy I like working on certain aspects of that one. :)

    LOL!
    Maybe it's not so much that you are a gold digger, but you are more appreciative of the things people buy for you.

    Sure, I'd love to be lavished with gold, diamonds and new cars ... but the reality is that I've lived like a pauper for so long that the thought of anyone spending money on something I don't need makes me very uncomfortable--irritable even.

    I have almost this same relationship with my ex (20 year marriage, no attention, cheated, still friends) People think we're nuts.

    I can totally relate to this!
    When I finally insisted on a divorce, I told my husband that I thought I'd have a much easier time being lonely if I was single. Being lonely in a marriage is, well, really, really lonely. It is kind of like being a chocoholic on a diet while working at Sees, or being an alcoholic just starting recovery while tending bar.
