"Love language" is how one expresses his love to his partner, a term coined by Dr. Gary Chapman. According to him, there are 5 love languages (http://www.5lovelanguages.com/resources/books/) and these are:
- Words of affirmation
- Quality time
- Gifts
- Acts of service
- Physical touch
For Rolly and me, all these five should definitely be present in our relationship. However, there's one which proves to be the most salient, and that is - WORDS. :)
There is not a day in our lives when we don't exchange sweet nothings. Mushy alert (!!!), I know, but words of affirmation about each other and our love are a key ingredient in our relationship. The words are translated into actions, of course. For Rolly, me telling him that I love him and expounding on it mean a lot. Me affirming how good he is for me and how I love to be spending the rest of my life with such a guy boosts his morale and makes him want to be even better for me.
I am posting one BBM exchange as an example. Some words are rephrased to hide the baby/alien talk. =D
Joyce: ... I am inspired.
Rolly: Could you describe the person who inspires you? :)
Joyce: Mapogi, mamacho, machingkit, at ma-english! =))
Rolly: =)) Sakin naman, ma-sexy and ma-cute, maputi, madanda,
mabait, at matalino. Sometimes I feel that she's too good for me
for all she's worth. She is quite extraordinary.
See? We're two sweet talkers, but being so makes us happy. :)
Cheers,
