Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz



pretty true! i've always known kind words really mean a lot to me. i don't have to see someone everyday for weeks, but as long as there's one message of nice sincere words, it will keep me going, and thinking.

physical touch came as a surprise though. not really touchy-feely, but a timely hug, touch or pat speaks a lot, and means even more. it as a secondary love language is probably quite apt.


one thing that the test does not say is how we recipocrate love languages. i would like words of affirmation and physical touch by others, but my primary love language that i give to others is most likely not these two, and not in that order.


i guess my primary and secondary traits would be quality time and giving gifts/acts of service respectively. i really like to sit down and listen, to really know and understand someone, not just superfically, like hello how are you? cool dude, bye! that's why i really dread large companies, where everyone 'fights' to be seen and heard. ill probably just fade into the background and catch whoever is being left behind by the group.

it is terribly amusing when someone claims that he cannot be confined to a desk and do tasks from 9 to 5 daily, as if it was something to be proud of.

when i say 'let's argue about it', i don't usually mean raising voices and throwing chairs at each other. an argument to me is more like a scholarly discussion. you set out your pros and point out my cons. i set out my pros and point out your cons. then we weigh in each factor and see where the balance hinges eventually. and we are still friends in the end


it is not easy having an argument. it entails you to be willing to stake your beliefs and ideas. in hope of getting others to understand you, you have to be open to what the others have to say. you cannot simply come in expecting people to listen to your views and your perspective when you don't want to see thiers and understand their point.


lastly, be sure what you are championing for. please articulate exactly and precisely what you want to say, instead of framing thoughtless general statements that generate a lot of flak but achieve nothing. don't you compare apples with oranges.
