Simple Vivacity

When your spouse's emotional love tank is full and he feels secure in your love, the whole world looks right and your spouse will move out to reach his highest potential in life. But when the love tank is empty and he feels used but not loved, the whole world looks dark and he will likely never reach his potential for good in the world. ~ Gary Chapman

The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by Gary Chapman is an amazing book. It details the five ways people give and receive love: through Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. It explains how important it is to speak your loved one's language with vivid and memorable examples. Some may know right away which love language they speak, but if you don't there is a good guide on discovering your love language and that of your spouse, children, and other loved ones. Just taking a few tips from this book improved the relationships in this household 1000%. I can't recommend it enough.
