I saw this quiz and thought I'd take it since it's been awhile since I read the book. For anyone who wants to improve their relationship with their spouse or significant other, their kids, or even just to understand yourself better, this book is an awesome tool.
#1 Words of Affirmation--You need to hear praise to know you are loved and you may also prefer to express your affection verbally. Negative comments cut right to the bone. You want to hear that you're loved and how much and why.
More information about this result.
#2 Quality Time--This can be expressed either through those intimate tete-a-tete discussions or via doing things together. It's possible to get a low score in this category because you have a strong preference for one form of Quality Time over another.
#3 Acts of Service--You prefer to show your love through favors and chores and doing things for others. You feel put-upon and unappreciated when your efforts are taken for granted.
#4 Touch--You want to give and/or receive affection physically. This may or may not center around sex.
#5 Gifts--You are moved by presents and physical tokens of affection. It's the fact that someone is thinking about you enough to give you something that moves you. The objects are of secondary importance to the relationship and sentiment with which they were intended.
Got this here. Interesting stuff -- I think the results are true for me.
I have this book. I probably should it read before I got married, not after I got divorced. :)
ReplyDeleteI guess this means I should stop verbally castrating my husband every day he comes home from work, and start being nice :)
