  • Essay / The Language of Love - 958

    The Language of LoveExcellent, another personality trait typing test is in the books! If I hadn't known who I was before, I would have no excuse for not knowing after these last seven weeks! In fact, this week's assessment was somewhat different and more personal than the previous week's experiences. Asking my wife to take the Love Languages ​​test was as fun as it was interesting. There were no surprises among us, however. We each know who we are and what we like and what we don't like. Most importantly, we are not afraid to speak up and address the issues that are on the horizon. There are no persistent files of unresolved issues in the Isherwood household. We both sincerely believe that our problems will not improve with time or distance, which is why we solve them here and now. Our mantra is pretty simple: “If something doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t, so let’s talk about it.” When I asked my wife if she would be willing to participate in a class project with me, she of course looked at me skeptically. As I explained to her what was required and talked to her about the five love languages, she began to seem more enthusiastic about her participation. Of course, his new enthusiasm now drew suspicion from me. Turns out my wife is well versed in the five love languages ​​and has the book The Five Love Languages ​​by Gary Chapman to prove it! Sitting next to each other on the couch, we embarked on our Love Language journey. It was quite funny for each of us to hear each other complaining about a particular pair of issues. We previously agreed not to help each other and just choose the best answer. She of course finished before me, I was busy analyzing each of the questions...... middle of paper ...... them. I believe the Storge piece is the common theme between the two styles. We have a very hands-on relationship, each of us knows our role and we are comfortable putting each other's needs and niceties ahead of our own wants and desires. This class was a reaffirmation of my wife and my incredible ability to take effective action. communicate with each other in our interpersonal relationships. As noted in my previous essays and journals, I really enjoyed each chapter of the text and learned something new from each assignment throughout the course. Works CitedWood, J.T. (2010).
