love language

talking to my cousin, who was recently married, made me examine my own thoughts on love and understanding. marriage changes things, we all know that. Especially for those who have not lived together. The first few months Rick and I lived together were such a learning experience. I was (and am) so in love with my husband that I think we both were "tender" in how we addressed issues. Rick and I had lived our own separate adult lives. Living alone allows you to become solitary and selfish- rightfully so. Allowing someone else in is difficult and is a constant state of giving a little- compromise. This leads me (and to our conversation) to love language -love language- 1. Words of affirmation 2. Acts of Service 3. Receiving Gifts 4. Quality time 5. Physical Touch I am definitely 1+5... So our conversation was how do different love languages who love each other cope? Do you strive to understand the others? Do they compromise? Do they change in response?
