We each might have a primary and maybe a secondary love language, but love in any language is always welcome. I asked my husband his feelings about Valentine's Day after reading lots of other people's feelings about the day, and his reply, true to form, was "It just gives me another day to show my love to my sweetheart." Ah, you gotta love that answer. <em>Claudia's last blog post..<a href='http://theanniversaryshop.wordpress.com/2008/02/14/the-ultimate-definition-of-love/'>The Ultimate Definition of Love</a></em> Very true on all points.

Seriously, you’re right, Leslie, it’s in the day to day things that we truly show our love for one another.  If we aren’t living our love and we’re just saying our love– or showing up on special occasions– we have an empty love.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

My hubby doesn't usually make a big deal over holidays, including V-day, but he's there for me in the everyday things, I'd never doubt his love. It seems very frilly to have it all based on what "gifts" he gave me to express his love.  And it's funny that you mentioned the 5 love languages, my dh's has never been gift giving. For one thing, he honestly does not enjoy receiving gifts (I know, hard to believe!)...he doesn't like to be in the limelight, so that helped me immensely in our first years to understand why he never made a big deal of birthdays, etc. It's a perfect balance for me, because I tend to go way overboard on any excuse for making a day special. :O)Happy Valentine's Day! <em>Mary's last blog post..<a href='http://homesteepedhope.com/2008/02/14/happy-valentines-day-2/'>Happy Valentine’s Day</a></em> Leslie, these thoughts echo my own.
