CODES OF LOVE: PART 1

My wife is mean! She has the tongue of a jezebel.

I met my wife during our NYSC Camp and service years. She was very pretty and captivating. She was equally smart which was the major thing that attracted her to me.We got talking and next we were friends then we got married.

As time went by after our marriage, and the chaos of married life set in, I began to notice the other part which I never saw. She can hardly take compliments and talks so recklessly. This always gets to me and breaks me.She lacked the major thing I desired.

What is this by the way?

Words of Affirmation: these are words that communicate your love, appreciation and respect for your spouse. These are positive words that are used to uplift someone. Sometimes these words can be spoken, written or recorded. You encourage, affirm, appreciate, empathise and listen actively.

If you find yourself or your spouse lightened up with bubbles at the sound of kind words then chances are that your love code or that of your spouse is a word of affirmation.

This simply means that written and spoken shows of affection matter the most to you as the expressions make them feel understood and appreciated.

Verbal acknowledgments of affection, including frequent “I love you’s,” compliments, words of appreciation, verbal encouragement, and often frequent digital communication like texting and social media engagement.

If this is the case then you should constantly give it lavishly and freely. One can only feel loved when they get love in the language they understand.
