When the Superbowl was in January I became accustomed to thinking that the holiday season wasn’t really over until after the game. I remember many years watching the game at a ski resort. I remember watching President Clinton’s famous “I never had sex with that woman…” on a ski vaca too.
This year the Superbowl is February 3. So the holiday season runs right on into Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day is an easy holiday for which to select gifts. Anything that makes people feel loved will work. Cologne and flowers are perfect ideas. Chocolate is great because it simulates a feeling of love. But even better is to really experience love. If you want to find some special ideas on making people feel loved, check out the Love Language gift selections. We have some links to quizes that can help determine what love language someone speaks, but to make it even easier to learn your special someone’s love language, here are some descriptions that will help.
If your loved one…
- Would rather get a massage than eat a steak
- Has stuffed animals and / or fuzzy slippers
- Prefers silk or flannel sheets to regular ones
- Begs for foot-rubs, back-rubs, manicures or hair brushed
- Wants to snuggle even when it’s hot
He or she probably speaks TOUCH as a love language.
If your Valentine…
- Wants to share a quiet dinner rather than see a movie
- Loves spending time with friends and family
- Asks you to go for walks or drives alone
- Prefers board games to video games
His or her love language is likely QUALITY TIME
A sweetheart who…
- Shies away from a friend who is critical
- Is very easily hurt by angry words
- Likes to tell you how much you mean to him or her
- Becomes angry when you forget to tell him or her how much she or he means to you
May very well speak the language of WORDS of AFFIRMATION
Would your sweetheart
- Be heartbroken if you didn’t bring a gift home on your anniversary?
- Feel devastated if you let a birthday go by unnoticed?
- Go to great lengths to choose special gifts for everyone on a list?
- Feel slighted if you gave him or her a gift in a color she or he didn’t like?
- Wonder why a family member neglected to bring a hostess gift to a special dinner?
He or she must speak the language of GIFTS!
A person who
- Wants to come home to find everything in order
- Can’t wait for the weekend so he or she can work around the house
- Would rather have you clean the garage with him or her than anything else you had planned for the day
- Warms considerably when he or she comes home to find chores complete
- Can’t rest after dinner until the dishes are done
Is probably an ACTS of SERVICE love language person.
