Love languages: words of affirmation

Learn to love each other without the euphoria of the in-love obsession. it's hard work. Recognize the in-love experience for what it was- a temporary emotional high and pursue real love with your spouse. that kind of love is emotional in nature but not obsessional. It is a love that unites reason and emotion. It involves an act of the will and requires discipline and it recognizes the need for personal growth. Our most basic emotional need is not to fall in love but to be genuinely loved by another. to know A love that grows out of reason and choice not instinct. I need to be loved by someone who chooses to love me; who sees in me something worth loving. True love cannot begin until the in-love experience has run its course.

Words: The tongue has the power of life and death. An anxious heart weighs a man down but a kind word cheers him up. Verbal complements and your words of appreciation are powerful communicators of love. Mark Twain says I can live for two months on a good compliment. I love compliments I love affirmation. Verbal compliments are far greater motivators than nagging words. When we receive affirming words we are far more likely to be motivated to reciprocate and do something the other person desires.

Encouraging words: to inspire courage.

Sometimes people just need a little encouragement to tap into the potential that they have. Words are important this is one of my main love languages. Words of affirmation.
