I just read the book a few weeks ago. And it really opened my eyes to why my marriage has so many problems. We simply aren't speaking the same language. My score:

33%
Physical Touch 10
23%
Receiving Gifts 7
20%
Quality Time 6
20%
Words of Affirmation 6
3%
Acts of Service 1

So it's no wonder that my husband and I have problems. I think I have determined that his "Love Language" is Acts of Service. He does the laundry, cleans the toilets, takes out the garbage, without me asking him. I think that is his way of showing he cares enough to do things so I don't have to. I try to tell him that I appreciate it, but I don't know how far it goes.

He is very much NOT physical. Which is why I feel so starved in our marriage. My love language is physical touch. Not just intimacy, but any kind of touch. That's also probably why I have such a bad relationship with my parents - they rarely, if ever, hugged us.

And that's why I love my psych nurse...she gives really good hugs!! Sometimes I just really crave that physical closeness, with anyone.

Anyhoo...if you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it. There is also a Men's Edition, and a book-on-CD version. Amazon.com has good prices on it. Or heck, if you want to borrow mine, send me a PM and I'll even mail you my copy (if you promise to mail it back after a while!)
