questions for five love languages ...

* Quality Time * Words of Affirmation *
* Gifts * Acts of Service * Physical Touch *

I read the first book "The Five Love Languages" and I kept it with my game plan for understanding myself and others. Along with it I keep the "Personality Profiles" and the "Seven Smarts". Because of my studies, we tend to favor one characteristic over the others but often we are a combination of all.

Q: As a parent shouldn't we express Love using all five languages to raise our children to be more rounded and fluent in Love? I am asking this only after expressing the child's primary love language first.

Q: As the receiver of your primary Love Language, woulded expression of the other languages round out love for you?

Q: I know of someone whose primary Love Language is Touch. Being millions of miles away, I could not express love in that way. I used all other languages but they did not seem to faze him even when I tried to incorporate touch in them. What is one to do? Especially, when he wasn't touched as a child and as an adult touch became a bad thing? I am not most fluent in Touch but I know it heals.

About Touch... Touch probaby comes last in my Love Languages. So when he said his Love Language was touch, I immediately opened up to his world. I wanted to understand it better. Deep in the corners of my heart a need to be touched screams in the dark. Lately, I have seen hugs say more than any word that can't come to mind can. I have always knew that touch was special if not down right sacred.
