meLOVE: what says , "I love you?"
I've been having some very interesting email conversations with a dear friend, and one of the topics we've touched on is receiving acknowledgement. Gary Chapman is credited with identifying them as: quality time, acts of service, words, gifts, and physical. There are often vast gaps between what we give and what we want to receive that can leave two people who love each other very much confused and unsure if they share the same feelings. So, a little audience participation here. How do you like to receive acknowledgement from your friends and from your spouse and children? How do you show your appreciation for others? Do you notice any correlation and recognize how there could be discrepancies in the love languages you exchange?

I have a friend who's love language is Gifts and it took me a looong time to figure out that even the smallest gift would make her day...that even buying her a coffee would show her love.
Interesting stuff!
Being supportive.
Being kind...random acts of kindness.
Compliment often.
