take a load off, and bow down

I've been hearing more and more about the five love languages...mostly at school, which sounds kind of creepy. But apparently, discovering a child's primary love language can be a helpful tool in managing that child. The theory is that you are better able to understand what motivates a particular child, and therefore are better able to help this child learn. It's interesting stuff...I'm thinking about buying Dr. Chapman's book...because after this semester, I want all the help I can get! I found this quiz on Amber's blog and was slightly surprised by the results...it's kind of cheesy, but no less worthwhile than discovering what kind of superhero you are!

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.
