24/Savvy Family and Charity

Would you rather hear your partner say, “I love you,” or show you their love by leaving work early to spend time with you?  Or maybe you prefer a thoughtful gift, or a hug and kiss at the end of a long day.  According to Gary Chapman, author of the New York Times best selling book, The 5 Love Languages, he noticed a pattern in his 30 years of marriage counseling—we all have a primary way of expressing and interpreting love.  The five ways we show or receive love are:  Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.
