Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

I ran this twice. Witness the difference in the two answers:

Answer set A:

Words of Affirmation: 10
Quality Time: 7
Physical Touch: 6
Acts of Service: 5
Receiving Gifts: 2


vs. Answer set B:

Physical Touch: 11
Quality Time: 8
Acts of Service: 6
Words of Affirmation: 5
Receiving Gifts: 0
-------------------

A is how I work with my existing situation.
B is the ideal situation---more desire for touch, less desperation for approval, and no more material gifts, thanks---they are a poor substitute for what really matters.

Getting closer to your ideal would be moving in a healthier direction; IOW the B answers would reflect a healthier relationship.

how...perceptive of you. [rolls eyes] physical touch is hugely important to me...if I actually want the other person touching me.

Has xf done this test & if so what are his results?

Shoshana's results were:

Quality Time: 8
Words of Affirmation: 8
Acts of Service: 7
Physical Touch: 7
Receiving Gifts: 0

He has no time to take it, but I will take it for him. There's nothing for "giving gifts," which he loves, vs. "receiving gifts", which he does not love.

If I were to guess, I'd give him this:

Quality Time: 10
Physical Touch: 9
Acts of Service: 6
Words of Affirmation:5
Receiving Gifts: 0

The first two are definitely right. The lower ones matter so little it doesn't matter what order they're in.

Of all of us Shoshana's scores fall within the closest range and mine are the most unbalanced.
