Acts of Service 

 

 

Doing things you know your partner would like you to do. It is a loving service. Loving service is not slavery. Loving service is an internally motivated desire to give one’s energy to others. Loving service is a gift, not a necessity. Loving service is done freely, not under coercion.

Learning the language of service requires that  We

do not use such to manipulate the other. Manipulation is never an expression of love.  We need to overcome stereotypes of male and female roles.

Physical Touch A very powerful way of communicating emotional love It should be communicated at the appropriate time, in the appropriate place and in an appropriate manner

• Sexual intercourse is only one dialect of the language of Physical Touch • Touching is not limited to one localized area of the body • Physical touch can make or break a relationship. It can communicate hate or love.

Discovering your partner’s primary love language  Ask

questions  Make observations  Experiment

Finally, it is important to note that:  Your

partner needs to receive love from you in all five love languages.

 The

primary love language will speak more deeply and will more quickly fill the emotional love tank; but, it must be complemented by speaking the other four languages as well.

 Once

your partner is receiving a sufficient amount of love in his/her primary love language, then the other love languages become even more meaningful.

 On

the other hand, if your partner’s primary love language is ignored, the other four are not likely to fill your partner’s emotional love tank.
