Love language.

... Just curious what everyone else got in the 5 love languages. :) The original or any of the others (your children, apology etc).

I found it very insightful indeed. :)

I've read about these. It has helped me understand the way my dad shows love to me (doing things for people), which is not at all my love language (words).

I'm a words and touchy person, more than a gift giving person. Although I think I do tend to do all as I want to please people. :)

My apology type is also admitting wrong instead of just saying sorry.

Interesting.

I'm mostly a touch and service person.
Which will explain why my marriage failed.

This sounds interesting but I must admit I don't really know what you're talking about! Do you have a link? Is there a test you do to find out your language?? Thanks!

There we go! I totally forgot ha, was wondering why some people weren't responding!

Most of the questions don't apply to me. We don't have a car, he doesn't "help" me with the laundry he does the laundry, he has never surprised me with a present because he doesn't have his own income and doesn't leave the house...

I also don't think that anyone deserves an award for helping someone. Oh, and it's really heteronormative.

'Quality time' is definitely what I like the most.

My apology love language results -

4 Expressing Regret

2 Accepting Responsibility

7 Making Restitution

6 Genuinely Repenting

1 Requesting Forgiveness

Making Restitution - Highest Score

You have chosen Making Restitution as your primary Apology Language. You find it easiest to forgive when action is taken to compensate for the wrong done to you. You listen not only to admission of fault, but also for the question, What can I do to make it better?

Very accurate :)

I don't intepret 'acts of service' like an act of love, cleaning and doing stuff round the house is just part of everyday life. I don't feel special when my husband does it (my score on this was very low), but I do feel angry when he doesn't.

Apart from that, I pretty much like all displays of affection, nice words, gifts, there's nothing I don't like about all those things. Is that greedy?!
