Love Languages and Emotional Bank Accounts

The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts by [Chapman, Gary Dr.]         The 4 Seasons of Marriage: Secrets to a Lasting Marriage by [Chapman, Gary]
I highly recommend these books to you all. When we understand each other's love languages, we are able to communicate love on a deeper, more intimate level.

Here is a link to the love language test: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/couples/



"Do you ever feel like you're trying to show love to your spouse ... and they don't receive it as love? Something is getting lost in translation ... you don't speak the same love language. Learn from Dr. Bruce and Karen how to learn your love language and how to speak your spouse's love language."

This link will take you to a video you can watch that will help you understand what your love language is and the way that you like to receive love best. There is also a little quiz you can take that will help identify your love emotional love language needs and what can fill your emotional bank the quickest. When our emotional tanks are full, our relationships are closer, more intimate and we are communicating on a deeper more meaningful level. Our love deepens for one another and we can continue falling in love more everyday with our spouse and those we love.

Saving your Marriage...

This is a short video...but very profound in it's message. When we are sick we seek healing, when our marriages are not doing well we should seek to heal them. Elder Oaks states that when we seek the Lord he will help heal us and our marriages. "A marriage in duration and Godlike in quality, does not contemplate divorce". Let us all seek to have healing in our marriages, to love one another as God loves us.
Do something special for your spouse today to show love, kindness and forgiveness so they know how much you value your marriage and them as a spouse.

Expressions of Love

This is a really cute video that helps to remind us how to share expressions of love with our spouse. I love this video as it has couples of all ages, and each have been married for different amounts of time.
Challenge this week is to express love to your spouse. Perhaps watching this video will inspire ways you can do this.
