Feeling the love

What happens to a person who doesn't feel love anymore?

The limits of that person's character get tested.
He does things he normally wouldn't do.
He acts in desperation trying to find what no longer exists in his eyes.

Depression lives in the box of desperation.
Sadness thrives in darkness.
Loneliness grows like a virus.

Each person has a love language. Most of us love the way we want to be loved.

And that's where we fail our loved ones.

We don't gift something we want. We gift something our friend would want.

Love is no different.

Understanding what makes our loved ones feel special is fundamental to a loving relationship.

There are five love languages:

  1. Gifts
  2. Spending Quality time together
  3. Words of Affirmation
  4. Acts of Service
  5. Physical Touch
Although all five of them sound good, there is one dominant language for each of us. To discover and act on how our loved ones want to be loved is the key to a beautiful life.
