"<br /><br />Very important statement. I think the thing is for us to attempt to show our caring according to another's need because we desire to see them happy and loved, not because we have to. Demanding is, indeed, antithetical.

The hugs and touching almost sent me of the edge (what is it when a person dies every one and there dog wants to hug you even ones you dont know. I could handle a touch to the arm but the hugs got me to the point of saying please dont and being ignored.) <br />It was The neighbour who brought me food when I couldn't hardly get of the couch for long cos I was so weak. the friend who bought me some groceries, the pastor who brought wood right to the fireplace for me That is where I received love. While I love getting surprise gifts like books or a card its the acts of service that really make me feel appreciated as they dont happen alot.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-91989871973288871382013-01-14T10:01:47.224-08:002013-01-14T10:01:47.224-08:00Linda:

I believe we different on how we want to receive love based on who it is that is giving that love.<br /><br />As a husband and man, I want to give love by supporting and protecting the family. I am very high on Affirmation because that is an important part of my Unity belief system. I am highest on giving quality time because men have so many other duties outside the home. I know quality time means a lot when that time might be what you consider well deserved ‘rest time’. <br /><br />From a wife I want affection, touch, service, and encouragement. <br /><br />Now consider another man. Man to man demonstration. Men sure don’t want demonstrations of love like a wife would give. Men want respect, loyalty, and perhaps a very solid pat on the back. <br /><br />Two sons may well be treated like men by the father and two daughters treated like women. So in somes cases I believe one wants to be treated in the way one acts to love another but in other caese one does not want to be loved in the way one shows love to that person. <br /><br />I don’t think it is that important to be loved in the way you want to be loved as long as you clearly see that another’s actions result from their love for you. <br /><br />To demand to be loved in a given way is almost antithetical to love in the first place. <br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-39377565359645312502013-01-14T09:38:01.247-08:002013-01-14T09:38:01.247-08:00Linda, you're sweet to say that. :)Linda, you're sweet to say that. :) Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-47880040164270903872013-01-14T08:38:41.165-08:002013-01-14T08:38:41.165-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046715410183845188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-32723748210026732842013-01-14T07:11:07.655-08:002013-01-14T07:11:07.655-08:00Missy, I am not surprised yours is acts of service...Missy, I am not surprised yours is acts of service.

I knew physical tough would be low as I am not comfortable with hugging. Even as a little child I didn't like to be cuddled by anyone but family. But I do appreciate quality time with people and contact with people. I think for myself I tend to like to show love in service. I clean for a few ladies and while I get paid I enjoy it cos I know it helps them and will do extra things to help. For me at present if someone would come and offer to mow my lawn I would be over the moon, as with my wrist injured I cant do this task. <br /><br />thanks for the link will look out for your new book.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.com
