The Five Love Languages

We had such a good time last night at book club. The book was great, the discussion was great and I think we all learned a little about ourselves and those we love. It was at Robin's home and she had spaghetti, bread sticks and salad along with fresh fruit and chocolate fondue. MMM...MMM...good. Before I knew it was 9:30pm. I usually try to leave before 9 but ther was just lots of discussion and we all wanted to take the test. I hadn't taken the test so I was surprised to find out that my second love language is physical. But after I thought about it it made sense. I love being hugged, I tend to hug a lot. I thought it was just because I grew up in a huggy family but since I have two daughters that don't particularly like that I know it's really just a basic part of who I am. I wasn't surprised at all about my first love language, quality time. I didn't realize that was what I needed most until I thought about it while reading the book and everything just said quality time is really me. Spending time with the people I love is very filling to me and I hate when they are so far away that I can't see them more than I do. Getting quality time from Billy has been a real struggle in our relationship but we have worked out some interesting ways to do that even before the realization that I needed it. I do resent his phone a lot, but because he is so good to pay attention to me on a larger scale I do my best to try to work past that problem. When I get to go to the ranch with him it is the greatest because he can't get a signal out there in several areas so I have him all to myself, no phone, yeah!!! Anyhow if you haven't read the book, you might try it. I think you'll find it very interesting.
