Introduction
Discovering the primary love language of your spouse is essential if you are to maintain an emotionally healthy and fulfilling relationship.
Your emotional love language and the language of your spouse may be as different as Chinese is from English. No matter how hard you try to express love in English, if your spouse understands only Chinese, you will never understand how to love each other.
Seldom do a husband and wife have the same primary emotional love language. We tend to speak our primary love language, and we become confused when our spouse does not understand what we are communicating. We are expressing our love, but the message does not come through because we are speaking what, to them, is a foreign language. Therein lies the fundamental problem, and there is a solution.
Being sincere is not enough. We must be willing to learn our spouse’s primary love language if we are to be effective communicators of love.
