Have you ever heard of the Five Love Languages? Dr. Gary Chapman researched and identified these things a while back and have been helping many couples communicate better in their relationships. The premises of the principle is this: “Different people with different personalities give and receive love in different ways.” I believe that when we examine our hearts, we know this to be true. I can also agree as I have experienced similar thing with my wife over the last 30 plus years of marriage. Dr. Chapman summarized these ways of communicating The Five Love Languages and is listed as follows:

• Words of Affirmation
• Giving and Receiving Gifts
• Acts of Service
• Physical Touch
• Quality Time

In the following video, I’ll just let Dr. Chapman explain them to you in his own words. Although it is an older video, I believe that the teaching will help you and me as it is biblically based and is timeless bridging generational, ethnic, and cultural background.

“Different people with different personalities give and receive love different ways.” (Dr. Gary Chapman)

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (Jn.14:34-35)

“Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails…” (1 Cor.13:4-8)
