Love Language

Yesterday afternoon I watched Ree Drummond on The Pioneer Woman as she made and delivered four chocolate based treats to loved ones.

The Pioneer Woman is TV show on the food network that features Ree in her kitchen as she cooks and shares her favorite dishes/recipes.

In this episode, she baked and gifted these treats to celebrate chocolate appreciation day. I didn’t even know there was a day for this. She explained that she chose to do this because cooking and sharing food was her love language (Acts of service).

Speaking of love languages, she made me go back to a thought I’ve had for some time now. I have always thought to myself  about how there’s ‘giving love language’ and then there is ‘receiving love language’.

I fear that the reason we may experience some problems in our relationships may be because we love people in our giving language rather than the one they would prefer to receive.

Just like Ree Drummond,I love to give my warm cooked meals to loved ones. Oh how it makes my heart smile…but, on the other hand, I would not feel particularly loved if someone made me a meal or or something like that. I think I receive words of affirmation and quality time for love.

The simplicity of all this is, I think we should love people in their love language even as we speak ours and let them know ours too, so that they can love us just right.
