We all wrote our top two ways we best received love on our arms, so that people in our groups understood how to best demonstrate their love for us (again, gifted kid camp). I loved the concept, and made of poster of them for the wall in my bedroom. I literally just took it down from my mother's house the other day...and had a conversation about them with a woman who is in Vagina Monologues with me. It may seem silly, but those 5 concepts have helped me so much throughout my life. I know that I am best loved through physical touch, quality time and acts of service (like my best friend bringing me soup when I'm sick)...and I also know that I have trouble with receiving gifts, and words of affirmation. Knowing these things has helped me explain myself to my partners...and also realize that I need to know their love languages in order to best demonstrate my love to them in a way that they understand. Woah. That got long. A feel a blog post of my own coming on. Thanks for sharing this. In hind sight, I wonder what Dr. Betts and all the gifted kid counselors would say if they knew how well discussing love languages helped poly relationships...
