The Five Love Languages

I'm starting to read a book by Gary Chapman titled The Five Love Languages The languages are:

Words of Affirmation
Quality Time
Receiving Gifts (flowers, jewelry, etc.)
Acts of Service (vacuuming, dusting, diapers, mow lawn, etc.)
Physical Touch

What my husband and I are doing is choosing each of our top three and then listing five specific things we would want under each of the categories. We are going to go to dinner (he won a gift card) and share them with each other. Even after 23 years of marriage, I bet we find a couple of surprises. The idea is that the more we talk the same language, the better we'll communicate. I've simplified the process quite a bit, but I think it will be a fun assignment.

This truly is an enlightening book. I read it a while ago and learned a lot.
