Dr Gary Chapman, wrote in his book "The 5 Love Languages", that there are 5 key categories,through which people show their love.
Do you know what is your love language? Do you know that of your spouse and your child?
Why is it important to know this love language?
Dr Chapman wrote:
Kids desperately need to know how much you love them. But if you don't know their special "love languages" you might as well be speaking gibberish. Every child (like every adult) expresses and receives love best through one of the five communication styles.
In other words, we need to know how best to show our love in the manner that is easily received by our spouse and our children. For example, if your spouse is shy and do not express his love so obviously, he is most likely to appreciate your express demonstration of your love. Dr Chapman says that people are usually drawn to those who speak a different love language than their own. So know yourself - which love language appeals to you; know your spouse and child - which love language do they appreciate, so that you and your loved ones' emotional needs can be fulfilled.
