LOVE LANGUAGE: AN IMPORTANT SELF-DISCOVERY THAT SHOULD INFORM YOUR CHOICE OF A SPOUSE (1)

If you’ve reached a resolution to get married someday, then take it from me that you have all the right in the world to enjoy all the goodies that marriage has to offer. But then, doing so requires some degree of understanding in various aspects of life which include but are not limited to temperament, individual differences, etc. However, the aspect we’ll be exploring in this article is LOVE LANGUAGE!!!

No matter how spiritual we may tend to be about marriage, the fact remains that the role of ROMANCE in marriage cannot be RULED OUT. We’ll inevitably have to do some very pleasing things to our spouse from time to time. But if we lack knowledge of how to please our spouse per time, how will we keep the fire burning for a lifetime???

It’s usually said that “as our faces are different, so are our problems.” But please, this is not just limited to problems. You see, as our faces are different, so are our cravings, passions, desires, and what have you. When it comes to romance, our needs differ. To love and be loved successfully, there is a knowledge of self that must be acquired long before the big day, and that is nothing but your LOVE LANGUAGE!!!


As a matter of fact, this knowledge should add to the factors that determine our choice of a life partner. After all, no one wants to spend a lifetime trying to fit a square peck into a round hole. If for whatever reason you get attached to someone whose emotional needs you find hard to fulfill, my dear, get detached ASAP!!! There’s someone else out there whose emotional needs you can fulfill without blinking an eye. That’s someone whose love language you can speak.

The sad thing, however, is that many singles lack knowledge of their love language. Some don’t even know what love language is. Don’t worry. I’ll tell you about it and help you find out yours. You see, your love language is simply the way you want to be loved, the way to your heart, and the best way you can be shown love. There are five love languages, and they include;

1. Words Of Affirmation
2. Quality Time
3. Receiving Gifts
4. Acts Of Service
5. Physical Touch

Some people feel so loved when told how much they are adored and preferred, even if the sayings are not true. Some others feel loved when their partner gets to spend so much time with them just talking or even saying/doing nothing!!! A mere being with them bursts their bubbles!!!

There are others who love to be gifted with random gift items in and out of season. It really doesn’t matter what you give them. Just give them something and you’ve succeeded in making them believe that love is real. Also, there are those who don’t believe you love them until you virtually become their houseboy/maid. Lol. They just love to be served.

And then, there are these other sets of people who want your hands running all over their body when talking to them, explaining something to them, or even listening to them. Can you even imagine that??? But if you must love them successfully, you just have to turn to a masseur or masseuses. Hahahaha…

As funny as that may seem, that’s all you need to sweep these different sets of people off their feet. Now, what role does love language play in influencing our choice of a life partner??? Good question. To answer this, I'll explain the love languages one after the other to aid easy understanding, and you’ll discover your love language in the process. Let’s commence!!!
