YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD

YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD

Really...you're not, whether you want to rekindle the romance that once was with the person you are with, or if alone, to find love.

August is National Romance Awareness month. Time for you to let love in, and send it out.

How to do that? First, ask yourself: what would love look like? Do I love me? What messages come up when you ask yourself that question?

How could you let the person in your life know they are special? Do they know what would feel loving to you?

There are five languages of love from the book by the same name written by Gary Chapman. These languages are the ways we each tend to recognize as loving and caring.

They are: 1)PHYSICAL TOUCH, 2)AFFIRMATIONS (BEING TOLD LOVING MESSAGES),3)GIFTS, 4)ACTS OF SERVICE (DOING SOMETHING FOR YOUR LOVED ONE THAT IS HELPING THEM OUT OR SERVING THEM. THIS MIGHT LOOK LIKE BRINGING THEM A CUP OF COFFEE, COOKING A MEAL FOR THEM, OR PERHAPS DRIVING THEM SOMEWHERE SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO), AND 5)QUALITY TIME.

If you could choose only two as most important to you, which would make you feel most loved?

How about the special person in your life? Which of those five languages would feel most loving to them? Do you know? Have you asked? Do you care enough to bring more romance into your life? If so would you be willing to give one or both of the ones they choose to them? Would you be willing to let them know what makes you feel loved?

In meeting a new partner learning which of these languages of love are important to them, can be very beneficial in enhancing and growing your relationship.

Have you ever heard someone say "I didn't know you felt that way"? We often think others will pick the same love languages that we choose for ourselves.

You can also ask family and friends their preferences. No judgment just be open to surprises, pleasant ones.
