Maybe this should be in book reviews, or relationship & intamacy, but I am going to post it here because this book helped me when I was going through my divorce. I was very depressed and angry at the world and had to make myself happy again. The Book is "The Five Love Languages" by GAry Chapman.
You learn so much about yourself and who you are and how you feeled loved by others, in particular your mate.
If you marriage needs a boost, or even if you think you are happy. Read this book. It could help turn things around. If I help just one person it is worth it to me.
Basically, you are loved in many different ways, the author narrows it down to 5. And you pick the one that you feel fits you the best. Now this doesn't mean you don't feel loved the other ways, you just have one that makes you feel the most loved. They are Physical Touch, Words of Affirmation, REceiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Quality Time.
If you are a Acts of Service person, you love when your hubby washing your car or does the dishes...but he may be bringing you a flower everyday, and you don't really care about that flower, you want him to take out the trash.
If you are qualty time, you want your hubby spending time with you.....and he may be telling you how wonderful you are, but you don't want to hear it...you want him to spend time showing you.
Of course, what really makes this all work is if you can get your hubby or significant other to read it as well, so they can figure out what makes them feel loved.
When we don't feel loved our love tank is empty and we need that one love language to bring us back.
Please ask any questions, I would love to tell you more.
