What speaks love to you?
Is what speaks love, to you the same thing that speaks love to your spouse? Gary Chapman teaches that we have one of 5 love languages and most often our spouses do not share the same language as we do.
I’m of the opinion that it takes most husbands 9 to 12 years to figure out what speaks love to their wives and vice versa. With a little help I don’t believe anyone needs to wait that many years to “figure out” their love language. Knowing ones love language as well as the language of our spouses’ leapfrogs us forward in terms how we love and serve each other in our marriages.
Gods word has something to say on the subject of love and what we are to be.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
