5 languages of love by Gary chapman 

An overview of the book and the fives things that helped me. 

1. Physical contact is one of the simplest love languages since it doesn’t require any words. People who prefer this language enjoy touch, hugs. They feel comforted in the arms of others or by holding hands. Youngsters, when this is one of their predominating love languages, feel comforted by being held or carried. They enjoy massages or sitting in people’s laps.

2.  words of affirmation This group includes people who need words of affection and compliments. They get happiness from hearing nice words and motivation from a well-written verse. This way of expressing love includes love letters. If one of your love languages is words of affirmation, you like to encourage people with your speech. 

3. Taking time out of our day for the people we love is a way of expressing what we feel for them. It means finding quality time in our busy schedule, full and rewarding time, to be with a person in both body and mind. What you do together doesn’t really matter. What really matters is the person we’re spending time with.

4. receiving gifts, Some people enjoy receiving and giving presents. But it doesn’t have to be a material gift or very expensive. Here, what’s relevant is how considerate the gift is. And of course the love with which it is given. It’s about getting to know the other person better through small — yet significant — presents. In other words, gifts are a way to express love for another, but never a means to get something.

5. Acts of services means the things a person performs as a way to communicate what they feel. There are a lot of different examples of this: preparing a meal with love, taking care of the home you share, caring for the other person when they’re sick. They’re simple acts, but they demonstrate love

              Anxiety in relationship. 

An overview of this book that helped through anxiety and insecurities in my relationship.

Are you struggling to trust your partner?

Do you constantly live with that sense of insecurity?

Are you afraid of being left and does that turn you into a jealous person?

Communicating with the person you love has become impossible; quarrels are now the order of the day, and your partner has become your opponent.

Well, I hear you! I know exactly where you are, what you are experiencing right now, and where you want to be, you know why? I have been there before. I know! You dream of a stable relationship based on trust and sincerity, where trusting your partner is a natural and mutual thing, in which making a decision together does not turn every time, despite your efforts, into a duel that generates a winner and a loser, but rather into a constructive confrontation that can shape your personalities, making them more compatible.

Well, now you might say: “That's right, Melanie! It's just like that. I know what my relationship is missing, I know what it should be like!”, and here I reply: “Of course, you do...but do you know what your problem is? You know what you should build in your relationship, but you don't know how to do it. You definitely lack the practical tools that will allow you to achieve the goal...or else, you would have already achieved it...don't you think?

Are you tired of suffering? Of being anxious, of making fruitless efforts, of experiencing endless conflicts as a couple that lead you apart? Good! Then, let's go and find out together:

The most popular and dangerous mistakes that anxious people make, and the “seven golden rules for a happy and lasting relationship”

Your way: nine practical and guided steps to save your relationship, improve your communication skills, and pass (thanks to the ninth step) from the "I" to the "you" and then from the "you" to the "us"!

The 5 Love Languages, According to Gary Chapman - Exploring your mind

what i actual learned about humanities is that taking this class expanded my mind to more open things, I learned a lot about modern day art, Shakespear plays more in depth and learning how to go above what writer think and what we actual ting, kind of like reading between lines. Finishing this class I would never think that blogging would be a big part of it and how much I am improving in it. I'm not too good at blogging but I do wish to further get better at that.
