love language
i learnt something from heng at thomson liquid kitchen last friday night.
that is love language.
just like the languages we use to communicate everyday, love has its own unique set of languages.
time. gift. words. actions. touch
time: some treasure the time spent together the most, what they are doing are not important. the most important thing is they are physically together, side by side.
gift: some express their love through gifts. the more gifts they shower their love ones with, the more they love them.
words: some use words to tell their love ones just how much and how deep the love is. that's why there are love letters.
actions: action speaks louder than words. thats how some express their love with. they execute every single thing they promised.
touch: physical intimacy to some is the utmost importance. and the rest about 'touch' need not be elaborated.
again, just how we use many languages to communicate, english, chinese, german, japanese blah blah blah, all of us has a different set of ranking for the 5 love languages!
heng says my MAIN love language is time. which i think is quite true.
and i think it's quite safe to say that for a couple or even frens to stay together, they must share the same love language or the least compromise and accomodate the different love languages each use.
food for thought
