The Intention Experiment with Lynn McTaggert
In addition to the 10 points mentioned above, I discovered that I needed to understand the 5 main ways which people communicate their love for each other. These are:
* Words of Affirmation
* Physical Touch
* Acts of Service
* Quality Time
* Receiving Gifts
Most of us have a primary way of expressing our love, and the way we express it is often how we wish it to be expressed to us.
As soon as I discovered that my husband’s primary way of expressing his love was different than mine, I started to express my love for him by using his style. I also became more aware of when he was expressing his love for me. He, in turn, started to express his love according to my needs.
It was a revelation for me, to discover that we have different ways of communicating love, and that when our preferred way of expressing love differs from that of our loved ones, misunderstandings can occur which can cause relationships to fail.
Right on! You really have to stop and think “what do they like”, not what do I like/want. Good observations.
