I have completed reading the Five LOVE Languages and as promised, I will share what I have learnt.
To me, this is a very powerful book and it has tremendously improved the way I see love. I always thought love is selfish and to love someone, it must be mutual. I have always thought it is difficult for a couple to ‘feel’ love till the day they pass on. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen too many arguments among married couples and divorce is now a common thing happening around us.
This love changed my ‘concept’ of love totally. I have learnt that not only can the ‘in-love’ feeling be experienced at the initial stage of a relationship, it can be sustained throughout your entire marriage, if you know how to apply the correct love language to your spouse. This new found knowledge (for me) not only gave me the confidence that my family will grow stronger and stronger, it has also made me want to share this knowledge to everyone that I care about.
To share, there are five types of love languages (more but these are the main five).
1. Words of Affirmation
2. Quality Time
3. Receiving Gifts
4. Acts of Services
5. Physical Touch
I will not elaborate into details as I am no expert in love counseling. What I can share is each of us have different love language and we respond differently and yearn for love in different manners. By learning and using your partner’s love language, you will be amazed at how your love tank can be filled.

I will be handing over this book to my wife for her to learn her love language and together, we will fill our love tanks to the brim.
