Re-watch #3 for me, and I still got a lot out of this! I love the banter between you both about love and feeling it from your partner, and I tend to agree with you. While the five love languages are great, they are not the be-all-end-all for relationships. Giving love takes so much more of an intentional and delicate approach than any five section program could give. For instance, I have a friend who sometimes just need time alone and interrupted. If I give that to them, they will feel loved and appreciated and seen by that, but no program would ever put 'leaving someone alone' as a love language. People are so subjective and love is so nuanced, like you both said. I love your perspective and your beautiful relationship and family. Thank you for sharing and keep it up!
I love this so much, I feel you Emily on not getting a gift that makes me feel seen, understood and loved. My boyfriend’s thoughts with money are so fundamental, when he dreams of things he could do, there’s a layer of work and making money. It breaks my heart to think his mind isn’t a ‘free’ space for him. I don’t think of the cost of the gift, I think of how this item could fit right into their life.. a bean pot coffee mug with so much room they can walk without spilling this huge mug, that keeps it warm and lovely. With the colour of glaze that matches their eyes and hair… for like a couple dollars at the thrift shop. My brother found an eagle feather and gave it to me as a gift… and his wife got me this little plush spider, these objects are so precious to me. There was no sales pitch on these little items but my beanie spider drives with me on big road trips and keeps me company, and the feather spreads all my favourite incense’s and my cat enjoys those days too, watching the smoke move from the feather. Either way, this video helps me feel so normal in my relationship, there’s a lot of love with both of you and my little family. Sometimes it feels like the world wants things to be perfect but then I can come here and enjoy a bit the real raw life of two partners. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you, I really had a good laugh! :D I think the love languages make sense, especially for young(er) people or people who didn't have a good example of a healthy relationship(s) in the family. It can open you up to different and more thoughtful ways to take care of your relationship. It was nice we came across this book at the beginning of our marriage.
The love languages really aren't scientific obviously. You can take it multiple time and get different results. But it is definitely a great starting point to know when starting a relationship
