Men and women are definitely wired differently!<br /><br />This reminds me of a book I read awhile back called "Five Love Languages". He explains that people feel love in different ways. While one person hears love best when receiving a gift, another might hear love best when they spend with with their significant other. Then of course, we tend to give love the same way we receive it, which doesn't usually work. When you can figure out what "language" your significant other is speaking, you can know how best to show/tell them love in a way that it'll mean the most to them!Jennifer M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04962587342835841240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-8463525560686579722012-05-30T07:33:34.004-06:002012-05-30T07:33:34.004-06:00This entry is so awesome!

Number one and number two pa...Wow are we similar!!! Number one and number two parallel my husband and I - I LOVE LOVE LOVE being tickled and I also vent and just want him to listen. He is the opposite, and reacts in the same way your husband does!! Although, I've made the observation about #2 enough times that when I start venting, hubs will say "this is where I just listen, right? I'm not supposed to solve it?" We are also different fighters, in a different way. When he can't get his point across he just shuts down, walks out of the room, which leaves me fuming. We are not out of each other's sight until the fight is resolved. On the other hand, when he's DONE fighting, he just wants to cuddle on up, which I am not interested in if I feel that my points have not all been acknowledged. Funny how different we really are, eh?<br /><br /><a href="http://thebluehourfashion.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Blue Hour</a>Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816507229710223599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-69929546770700131962012-05-25T12:49:55.756-06:002012-05-25T12:49:55.756-06:00Girl.

We read it in our small group two years ago and it really changed the lives of all of our small group, it is so helpful to know how your spouse wants to be "loved".. I am quality time, BIG TIME, and since reading it he knows for me to feel loved he has to spend time with me (lots) which is hard since his hobby is road biking where any given ride can be 2-4 hours easy, and he works over 60 hours per week, but since he knows it means so much to me he really makes an effort... His is acts of service, so I always am sure to make dinner for him, and always offer to help him with things ect, another "act of service" is letting him go on his bike rides when I would rather him stay home with me,.. trust me read the book so good!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953586899240393349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-11747844577244091272012-05-25T10:23:19.088-06:002012-05-25T10:23:19.088-06:00Love it, all of it!

Though most aspects I take your husbands side and my husband takes yours haha, that is how it is with my best friend too, whenever we talk about our husbands I am always like her husband and she is always like mine.. certain personalities attract to each other I guess :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953586899240393349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-60300359925605350992012-05-25T09:34:31.376-06:002012-05-25T09:34:31.376-06:00I agree with Cindy.

It's all about how finding what the other person needs will most likely be different than what you need to feel loved! It's very interesting.

I read it with my family (so in a non-romantic relationship setting) and it was still very helpful. I know understand why my momma always wanted to hang out together, while my brother just wanted gifts haha.Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584283088690778250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-45485293670538109602012-05-25T08:34:29.250-06:002012-05-25T08:34:29.250-06:00hahaa this is great...& so true. Have you hear...hahaa this is great...& so true. Have you heard of the book the 5 love languages? I haven't read it but apparently it's really good. I know it talks about the 5 ways people show their love & usually however a person shares their love is the way that they want to be loved. My husband and I are different though. His love language is gift giving & mine is verbal love. So sometimes I have to remember to buy him a gift here and there :PCindy and Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16024195121143164287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22472965.post-53112976343471698262012-05-25T08:30:01.516-06:002012-05-25T08:30:01.516-06:00My relationship with my boyfriend is QUITE similar...My relationship with my boyfriend is QUITE similar. When I ask him to rub my shoulders, it's because they're sore. By the time he's done, they hurt twice as bad. FAIL.<br /><br />I'm also the same way when we get into a spat. If I storm out of the kitchen in tears, please don't keep standing there, eating your sandwich. Come and give me a hug and a kiss!
