Love Language


I was listening to the radio on the way to work the other day and the DJs were talking about compatible "love languages" in relationships. I was pretty sure I heard that cheesy spiel before, but there wasn't any good music on, so I listened. It was kind of interesting. They were talking about how people feel and give love in different ways. Like some people feel love the most when they receive thoughtful gifts, or through words, or through physical affection.

Yadda Yadda Yadda, right?

Well, I asked Kyle the other night about how he felt love and it was an interesting conversation. He said he receives love most through thoughtful gifts and gestures. I never really pin-pointed that, but it made perfect sense. Kyle always told everyone about the gifts I gave him, like he was proud of them. He also likes to buy me little things, like he will bring me home a parfait from Sheetz just because he knows I love them. Also, this one time he made me mad and I was being all moody, so he went to Walmart (not just for this) and came home with all these school supplies for my new job. It also made me realize that since I would rather hear the words of love than receive love through gifts (although I love a good gift :)) that I don't give him enough little gifts. So I made a mental note to start.

...hmmm I just thought of something else....

Kyle's mom loves to buy people little gifts. I wonder if he inherited his love language from her.

P.S. Happy Belated Birthday, Kathy!!! Sorry we are the worst at remembering birthdays. Kyle found you an awesome present though!!

  1. I love that picture of you and kyle and the tree carving, we have one like that, we definitely had less carving skills though. I'll have to ask Kori what his love language is. Though his will probably be... um I don't know? :) My love language is definitely hearing it too. Hey whats the new addy so we can send out Kyle's tee shirt?
