Fun stuff! My love language is acts of service from my family. With friends, it’s quality time. Physical touch is my husband’s top and my bottom. Seems like we should have looked at this before we got married. LOL. I tend to love on him with acts of service and for the most part, he could care less! I relate almost exactly to how you feel about love languages. Quality time with myself…aaaahh!! Can’t remember the last time I was alone at home!

I am quality time and physical touch. When they are combined I feel the most loved. Acts of service is up there too!

The good thing about quality time is it can be combined with other love languages.

Mine is pretty much tied between Acts of Service and Words of Affirmation. Mike is definitely a Physical Touch kind of guy.

(Nothing like a last minute entry!!)

I’m a quality time gal… I like spending one-on-one time with people, truly sharing our hearts.

I am pretty tied between physical touch and quality time. I think the physical touch is mostly just what I need from my husband though, and other family and friends would be more quality time with some words of affirmation thrown in. I think I tend to try to show love by gifts…maybe I’m just a big combination of lots of things:)

What a great topic Marla! As a counselor, I talk about this in premarital sessions and with couples constantly! I love learning love languages of my family members too, it’s a boost for our relationships for sure! I’m a quality of time girl. I recall a time when my mom, who is huge gift giver, (despite that not being her love language), gave me 2 (YES, 2) diamond rings for valentine’s day (and yes, I’m an only child). I literally pushed them back to her and asked her to just spend time with me… so, we went to Martha’s Vineyard instead… we both discovered how much we enjoy traveling together and so we do a couple times each year… Dec. 4, 2009, for her birthday, I’m taking her on a cruise to the eastern caribbean! We’re both quality of time people for sure!

Mine would definitely have to be acts of service. As a busy mom I KNOW how hard it is to do nice things for others so it is very much appreciated and always makes me feel loved. However, I do think your LoLa changes as you change and grow in different phases of your life. I wonder what a toddlers LoLa would be, what an interesting thing to look for in a child?

My preferred love language to receive is Words of Affirmation.

However, the love language I tend to give to others most is GIFTS or ACTS of SERVICE.
