Love Language 3 – Receiving Gifts
A gift is tangible meaning or visual sign that you love and care about your spouse. A gift can also mean your presence is important especially at important times such as a birth of a child and may mean you might have to sacrifice some of your own desires. Find out specifically what makes your spouse feel happy.
Love Language 4 – Acts of Service
Acts of services have to do with helping and doing things for your spouse. It means doing the things that are important to your husband or wife and not demanding or nagging that things be done. We do not criticize them on how the task is done especially if they haven’t done it before.
Acts of service are practical things that your spouse would like to see done – whether it is household chores, working in the backyard, planning a vacation, changing diapers, etc.
