Did you know?The 5 Love Languages?celebrates its 20th anniversary this year?
We recently went through some of our favorite books on relationships, like Dr. Chapman?s classic, and rounded up 10 solid words of advice that we thought are worth repeating!?What?s some of the best advice you?ve ever received about dating, singleness, and marriage?
1)??Ultimately, comfort is not the issue. We are talking about love, and love is?something?you do for someone else, not something you do for yourself?love is a choice. And either partner can start the process today.?
-Dr. Gary?Chapman,?The 5 Love Languages?
2)??She wants security, he wants respect.?
-Glenn Stanton,?The Ring Makes All the Difference?
3)??Learning to communicate honestly and respectfully is one way to?be a blessing to our husbands. I need to choose my words carefully and set my tone appropriately rather than rely on my quick wit?to get my point across.?
-Cindy Easley,?Dancing with the One You Love?
4)??Spending time together communicating with God is necessary to keep your marriage healthy and stable?Let me suggest to you that you turn off the TV so that the two of you?can begin a routine practice of talking to God together.?
-James Ford,?Seven Reasons God Created Marriage
5)??Your spouse is a fascinating person, a treasure trove of meaningful, humorous,?and?profound experiences, thoughts, feelings, ideas, memories, hopes, dreams, beliefs, and convictions?Questions invite disclosure, and disclosure launches discovery. Discovery enriches a marriage and builds intimacy.?
-Dr. Gary Chapman and Ramon Presson,?101 Conversation Starters for Couples?
6)???Build a vision of your husband-to-be and a vision of how you will honor him on your dates?all of them, not just the ones with him.?
-Dannah Gresh,?And the Bride Wore White
7)??To have the lasting love and intimacy you desire it?s essential to identify?unhealthy patterns in your own life, change what you can about yourself, and then come into?greater clarity about the qualities you want in another person.?
-Jackie Johnson,?When Love Ends?and the Ice Cream Carton is Empty
8)??If God wants me to marry Mr.-Fill-In-The-Blank, then let Him plan the details and the timing. If I can trust Him with my soul, I can trust Him to introduce me to the right guy.?
-Hannah Farver,?Uncompromising?
9)??To succeed at any event, you have to show up for the game. You showed?up for the wedding; why miss the rest of the marriage? Set aside ten minutes a day to catch up with your spouse. Ask, ?What was the best thing about your day? What was the most challenging???
-Joy and Tim Downs,?Fight Fair
10)???Men, we can?t forget that women need to be loved in ways?that make them feel beautiful. The curious/serious gazer can uncover beauty. He?doesn?t dream of conquest, but of discovery. He is like an explorer. He isn?t interested in possessing his woman or exploiting her resources. Instead he wants to learn of her and delight in her.?
-James Ford,?When a Man Loves a Woman
We?d also like to cordially invite you to participate in the?Love Language Challenge, a 5-week event starting February 14th designed to help you show love to your spouse by completing a weekly challenge.
