Tag: love language

Authentic romance is unbelievably awesome at all levels. Romance is a feeling and an expression. It’s not difficult to add to your marriage either. In fact, we sometimes do not recognize it in our own gestures or that of our spouse’s.

I believe that your husband or wife’s love language is also part of his or her romantic language. Let’s get beyond the idealized notions (greeting cards, flowers, chocolate, etc.) and focus on an expression of how you feel and how you want the other person to feel. Everything else falls into the "toolbox" category.

It was Sophia’s birthday and even though she had asked her husband, James, not to plan a weekend with his kids on her birthday, he did. His reason? His ex-wife had made plans months ahead for that same weekend, and James didn’t want his kids to be with a babysitter. He figured he and Sophia could celebrate her birthday on a different date.

Sophia, once again, felt unimportant and last on his list of priorities. As you can imagine, this recurring issue caused a major argument between the two of them.
