Your love Languages

Recently, I took Gary Chapman's test on love languages. Yes, its true that I, a college male college student took a test on how I express love. I challenge you to look at this website and find your love languages; http://www.5lovelanguages.com/. I promise you, this won't mean you are any less of a person, or your purpose is any less than any body else's.

Rather, if you know where you need love and where and how you should express it, this will make you a more dynamic, powerful person! 

Here are my results and some of my own thoughts on relationships;  

 
A healthy relationship is one in which a relationship prospers because all the people involved know how to flow in love and interaction with eachother. People do not get easily upset with eachother because they are full of the love of God. Thus, any hurtful word or action that might be done to the other person simply rolls off their back like a duck. They are secure in their relationships and love can flow freely between them.  In a secure relationship, people are able to express their opinions and feelings with eachother without offending one another.

In a secure and Godly relationship, not only are people able to interact freely and share their feelings freely with eachother, but secure people with a love for God are not shaken as easily by outward circumstances which might otherwise negatively affect an insecure/lost  person. For instance, a secure spouse can handle her/his children screaming, the demand of bills to be paid, and the pressures of living with another person with different habits, and not cave in under the pressure.  Her love for God gives her a security and a sense of being loved and valued that is not affected by circumstances. A secure relationship is when two or more groups of people know how to connect with one another in a genuine manner despite the stress of everyday life. They apply God’s love to their relationships through forgiveness, speaking truth,  and offering grace.
