Have you ever noticed that when somebody speaks to the visually impaired, the speaker tends to raise his voice? The same thing seems to happen when talking to someone who doesn’t understand your language very well. Or, when talking on the phone, do you ever use your hands to help you describe something that is difficult to explain?.
We want to get our point across, but sometimes we do it the wrong way. Our point is missed, and all the effort that goes into compensation is wasted. The same problem occurs with friends and loved ones as we miscommunicate (spell check says that’s not a real word) our love for them, or misinterpret their love for us.

Llama Momma was talking about what fills you up, and it reminded me of Dr. Gary Chapman’s Five Love Languages. If you do not have this book, you are missing a real gem!

I suppose we bloggers have our own kind of love languages as well. Whether we comment, how we react to each other, the links on the sidebar, etc.

These are Dr. Chapman’s 5 love languages; do you know your primary love language?
- Words of Affirmation
- Physical Touch
- Quality Time
- Acts of Service
- Receiving Gifts
