February 14th...is a birthday for some, Valentine's Day for others.

You’d have to be living on Mars (some say it may be able to sustain life so if you want to avoid Valentine’s Day altogether, check it out!) to not know it’s Valentine’s Day.  Every talk show and newscast on television has made some kind of reference to it in the past 2 weeks….not to mention Valentine’s Day specials on popular t.v. series....and then there's the obvious displays in stores....

What are you doing in celebration of or in rebellion against Valentine’s Day/Commercialism? Have an anti-Valentine's Day party?

Are you going to spread some love? Use the occasion to bestow a random act of kindness on someone?

If you’re going to demonstrate your love for someone, what shape will it be in…do you know what that person’s love language is?  What is your Love Language?

According to author and counselor Gary Chapman, PH.D., everyone speaks/understands one ..sometimes two love languages:

1) Words of Affirmation

2) Quality Time

3) Receiving Gifts

4) Acts of Service

5) Physical Touch

I know that over at The Mrs . SOMEONE will be thinking that Gary forgot one…..the Love Language of Food…I guess THAT ONE can be lumped in with Receiving Gifts and Acts of Service. ….

If you are a male, you may be thinking “My love language is definitely Physical Touch”. You could be right or very wrong about this......

You can find out more in Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages ; How to express Heartfelt Commitment to your Mate. It’s an easy read and contains some information that could have a significant and rejuvenating impact on your relationship.
