🤍 Character & conduct between spouses · #158
My spouse and I show love in very different ways. How do we understand each other?
Understanding how your spouse shows love starts with realising that everyone expresses affection differently. Some show it through words of praise, some through help and service, small gifts, time together, or gentle touch. Problems arise when you give in your own way while your spouse is waiting for another. Try asking your spouse directly what means most to them, and tell them what touches your heart. Appreciate their effort even if it does not take the form you hoped for. Over time, you will both learn each other's language of love. See communication and emotions.
