CONVERSATION IN A MILL TOWN
Can a couple make it in marriage if they disagree on everything?
If Mark and Mary had the same primary love Language, why where they having so much difficulty? The answer lies in the fact that they were speaking different dialects.
Since acts of service wS their primary love language, learning each other's specific dialect was relatively easy for them.
They illustrate clearly that what we do for each other before marriage in not an indication of what we will do after marriage.
Love is a choice and cannot be coerced.
My wife criticism's about my behavior provide me with the clearest clue to her primary love language.
DOORMAT or LOVER?
Allowing oneself to be used and manipulated by another is not an act of love. It is in fact, an act of treason. You are allowing him or her to develop inhuman habits.
Love says I love you too much to let you treat me this way. It's not good for you or me.
Is it that simple?
Simple yes, easy, No.
