Five Love Languages

Gary Chapman has a great book on how to communicate love between individuals.  The basic premise is that people communicate love through five ways:  Quality Time, Physical Touch, Acts of Service, Words of Affirmation, and Receiving Gifts.  Some people "speak" the languages with differing degrees of fluency.  And we don't "hear" in the same "language."  Gary says that we default to speaking the language that we listen to best.  But that doesn't mean our feeling of love is communicated effectively.

Reading the book would get you a better idea of the concept, but you can see the rough sketch if you take the quiz.

My Primary Love Language is Quality Time.  What is yours?

My Detailed Results:
Quality Time: 10
Physical Touch: 9
Acts of Service: 8
Words of Affirmation: 2
Receiving Gifts: 1
