Marriage Builder: The five love languages part 1 of 5

     I wanted to briefly share with you the  five languages of love.  We all could use some insight on how we can please our spouses, just know that the love language you have, may not be the same as your spouse's.  So let's see, what are the five love languages?  Let's start with part 1,

Words of Affirmation 

Words of affirmation are verbal compliments, or words of appreciation and they  can be very powerful.

1.  Use encouraging words:  the word encourage, means to inspire not discourage or tear down.

2.  Use kind words.  Love is kind.  We communicate love verbally by using kind words.  This usually has to do with the way we speak.  We may be saying one thing but our tone means another.  We tend to interpret what our spouse is saying by their tone not words.

3.  Last but not least, use humble words:  Love makes requests, not demands.  Don't treat your spouse like a child.

The next love language I will write about will be "Quality time"  So stay tuned.
