The 5 Love Language

Paraphrased from Gary Chapman’s* best selling book

Quality Time: Spending time listening, sharing, teaching, reading in the same room, trips, movies, games, etc. Does your partner always want your undivided attention? This language includes quality conversation -- not just being in the same physical space. Quality time means giving others your undivided attention, being available - looking into someone's eyes while you are speaking with them. It is about talking about things that are important, including one's core beliefs and emotions. For example, you go to a symphony concert with me because you know I enjoy going, and you want to share in something I enjoy - even when that kind of music is not your style.

Specific examples include:

• Your spouse kidnaps you for lunch and takes you to your favorite restaurant.
• Your friend invites you to go on a leisurely walk just to chat about things that are important to you.
• Your partner plans a special night out for the two of you.
• Your coworker tells you how upset he is about the changes happening in the company.

You and your house mate share stories about past hurts or embarrassing moments.
