Sometimes the simplest thoughts/words can be misunderstood or mistaken.
Perhaps that is because our attempts to communicate amount to speaking in a different language.
What if every time you attempted to share your appreciation for your loved one with them, they completely took it the wrong way and didn't understand what you were saying, or worse yet, thought you meant to harm them? What if every thing you said and did came across to your loved one like it was Japanese, and they only speak English? The outcomes of both situations would probably prove confusing at best, and disastrous at worst! It would not make for a good, healthy, and growing relationship.
What if, on the other hand, every time you wanted to express your care and appreciation, your loved one understood and appreciated your efforts, and responded to you in a way that demonstrated their appreciation. Wouldn't that just make both of your lives a little easier, and a little less stressful? Imagine what a positive difference that would make in your life. Imagine the comfort and security, both of you would experience. The joy that you experience would spill over into every aspect of your life.
Dr. Gary Chapman has been teaching about a way to "speak" in a language your loved ones can understand and appreciate for a little over 21 years now. Dr. Chapman was the first person I ever heard speak about the The 5 Love Languages . Since he began teaching about them, he has enlarged the territory they can cover, and has adapted them to appreciation at the workplace, the languages of apology, and much more.
The teaching makes sense to me, and many times has proven to be useful.
