After some of the discussions here yesterday, I decided to take the 5 languages of love quiz (
http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/couples/). No big surprise, my top two were "acts of service" and "words of affirmation". Very me.
So, when FI got home, I told him about the quiz. He balked a little, but I told him since we weren't doing premarital counseling, his choices were to do the online quiz, or I would buy the whole book and read all 500 pages to him. Out loud. For months. (I don't know how long the book really is, I'm just dramatic) He gave in and took the quiz (I knew he would).
When he finished, he says: "The quiz says I need to be naked."
Me: "Really? It actually says you need to be naked?"
Him: "Well, it actually says physical touch is my main love language, but in little tiny letters here that you can't read without your glasses, it says you need to be naked right now. It's a very smart quiz."
So, after we were side tracked a bit (I couldn't argue with the quiz, right?) he sent me his actual results, and I sent him mine. He thinks it's funny that "physical touch" is his top one, since he's Mr. Asperger's and can't stand people touching him (except me and my daughter), He told me he loves me about a half-dozen times last night (he tells me often, but always after I say it... this was him saying it first). I was grinning from ear-to-ear because that does make a difference, so I think that one will stick.
Anyway, my point was, that was a neat exercise and got us to talk about some things we don't normally talk about, and I'm glad we did it (plus, an excuse to be naked so there's that). So, thanks, ladies!
