Jones Aug. results

I guess this is just a "Leesa Jones Aug. result" actually. Dan will have to post his own.
I read the book titled, "The 5 Love Languages". I had heard about it before and had always wanted to read it. My friend, Erika, had it and loaned it to me.
It discusses the different ways to show love, and how we need love shown to us.
The five areas are:
1. Words of Affirmation
2. Acts of Service
3. Gifts
4. Physical Tough
5. Quality Time
The one we often show to our spouse is usually the one we need too because that's how we think you show love. I've decided I needed to show more love to Dan, so I started getting up with him at 5 o'clock in the morning. I make him breakfast and pack his lunch and we have a few minutes to ourselves at that time. I'm giving him "acts of service" and "quality time". I've decided that I'm pretty needy because I seem to want all 5 all the time.
In conclusion, if you'd like some ideas of how to increase the love in your marriage (which never hurt anybody), I highly recommend reading this book...both spouses.

  1. We got this book as a wedding gift and I have always loved it. I think everyone should read it too.

  2. I bought it a year or two ago and I love it too. It probably doesn't hurt to take the little quiz on a yearly basis... I kinda think Jason's love language changes slightly with time. I'm pretty sure mine will always be physical touch though!
