100 Ways and 100 Days To Love Your Spouse

Day 19- Be creative when you express your love, both in words and in actions.  Most men and women, for that matter, like to be “shown” love.  Darrell and I took the “love language” quiz to figure out what our love language is.  This is in “The 5 Love Language” book by Dr. Gary Chapman.  You should check it out.  It’s a great book!  I was not all surprised at our results.  Here is the quiz below….have fun!

Not so sure what your Love Language is? That’s okay, I didn’t know for the longest time. I mean, I suspected, but I wasn’t entirely sure.  If you’re in the same boat as me, or if perhaps you can’t decide between two (or three), a quiz might be the right next step for you!
Below is a quiz adapted from Gary Chapman’s book, “The Five Love Languages.” It is designed to help you to understand the in which you best receive (and give) love.
The Love Language Quiz consists of 30 pairs of statements.  Choose ONE statement in each pair - the one that best represents your desire.  Keep track of your answers: write down the letter of each statement you choose.  (Make sure you’re only choosing one!)
