If you have never read the book,The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman, I highly recommend you do so. The book is designed to help you understand how those around you communicate. The principles in the book are applicable to all relationships not just romantic.
The Love Language Test is designed to help you understand how you receive love from others. My love language is gift giving. The gift does not have to be large because for me, it's the thought associated with the gift.
Today, my friend who lives in San Antonio but is from Detroit, had a box of Better Made Potato Chips sent to me at work. Because my love language is gift giving, my love tank (after you read the book, that statement will make sense) will be full for a week. Although my friend and I are not romantically involved, he knows that small things mean so much to me. Think about it: he not only thought of me, but took the time to order the chips, have them delivered to my job to surprise me, and selected my favorite kind: Sweet BBQ. Did you notice how much thought went into that simple gift?
I encourage you to take the test as it is quick and simple. Learning the five love languages has changed my life. I understand how my children, friends, co-workers, etc receive love. It is designed for the development of others.
