We have a very interesting topic in Mommy Moments this Friday and I almost missed it. Fortunately, I was able to get up early today so here it is. Chris says that there are five basic love languages that we use – Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Physical Touch, Gifts, and Acts of Service.
In my case, I think I often use Physical Touch and Acts of Service.
Though I often tell my loved ones that I love them and I also write them love letters which they really do appreciate, I think I’m not that good at giving them everyday compliments about their accomplishments or just about anything good they’ve done for the day so definitely, I’m not much into using Words of Affirmation.
As for the Quality Time, I guess my schedule is so cramped up that I am not able to spend ample time with my family – except of course for my little Yana. She’s my priority. I am also not into gift-giving much… except on birthdays and Christmases when I give elaborate greeting cards and specialized gifts. I guess I best show people how much I love them through physical touch and acts of service.
Before I became a mommy, I used to cook for my family everyday. I particularly love serving dinner. And for my sisters, I prepare our merienda on one plate and share it with them. I also love helping them with their assignments and fixing their room for them. Now that I’m a mom, I’ll offer any act of service that my kids would need in the future – without spoiling them and making them dependent on me of course.
Another love language which I also often use is physical touch. I’m the type of person who loves hugging, kissing, and cuddling my baby and my loved ones. Being able to touch them tenderly and lovingly assures me that they’re aware of the fact that I care for them, and that I love them so much. I wouldn’t be able to sleep without kissing my Yana and hugging her tight. (That’s why I really don’t know how will I be able to get a good night’s rest at the hospital since my baby won’t be allowed to visit me at night).
In Yana’s case, hmmmm… I think her love language is physical touch too. She loves kissing and hugging me and her Tatay. Whenever she sees that I’m sad or in pain, she rushes to my side, and then hugs and kisses me. She also does everything she can to make us smile – from her “Beautiful eyes” technique to her awkward but cute baby dance.
My hubby, on the other hand, is not much of a person who will use words to show how much you mean to him. I guess his love language comes in the form of service and gift-giving. He likes buying small things for me and Yana, and on top of that, he makes sure that we get whatever food we want to eat. His usual acts of service are serving our meals, cooking, preparing our bed, and giving me a massage.
