    My # 1 language is Quality Time and the runner up is Physical Touch......

    That's probably why I enjoy Quality Touch.... just sayin'

    Love this book! I also bought the childrens version which translates these into how you relate to your kids! Primary language for me is definitely quality time....bit of a difficult one as it is the one thing none of us seem to have enough of! Great thread!

    Quality Time and Acts of Service for me.

    I need quality time. Not much of it - I'm happy for my fiancé to do what he likes, when he likes for the most part - but I hate trying to hold a conversation when he's distracted and gives a short reply, and I like us finding the time to go out together for the occasional meal, walk around a park or shopping trip.

    The Acts of Service one is one he's very good at, and it's kind of an essential. I work 15 hour days quite a lot - the house would fall into disrepair if it were up to me to keep on top of it. He does all the housework and cooks the meals, and it's so appreciated. I still find myself seeing those patches of black mould in the bathroom that I'm too exhausted to get around to, and getting stressed about it, but I dread to think what this place would be like if he didn't do what he did.

    He's a Receiving Gifts and Words of Affirmation guy. Thoughtful gifts make him happy, and he needs to hear regularly how proud I am of him and how I appreciate his efforts. He's not as keen on a simple 'I love you', but I do say that a lot and I think he gets bored of it. :tongue:

    Definitely words of affirmation by a long shot and the acts of service. Unfortunately, one of my husband's lowest is words of affirmation. :frown:

    I would say my #2 is receiving gifts (no matter how small) because of the sacrifice that has to be made (time to get/think of it, financially, etc) as well as the thoughtfulness (you can't pick something up if you weren't thinking of the person).

    There's a test online that will help you determine what your primary and secondary signs are... My husband and I both took it and felt like it was pretty dead on...

    My primary is physical touch / secondary is acts of service
    My husband's primary is quality time / secondary is acts of service
