SHOWING LOVE THE RIGHT WAY PART 2

Hello to you, my lovely reader. Thank you for following my blog and for your constant encouragement. 

Today, we would continue our series 'Showing Love the Right Way.' 

I first heard and read about Love languages in Gary Chapman's 'Five Love Languages' which have different editions - For singles and for married (I recommend this book, it is a must-read for every individual). 

Basically, five love languages exist, they are:
  1. Quality time
  2. Words of affirmation 
  3. Acts of service 
  4. Receiving gifts 
  5. Physical touch 
Before I proceed with the concept of Love languages, I would first state the qualities of love as it is in the Holy Bible. 1st Cor. 13:4-7 says:

"Love is patient, Love is kind, does not envy, does not boast, is not proud, is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs, does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres." 

The scriptures also makes it clear that it is not possible to say you love God whom you cannot see when you cannot love your neighbour whom you can see (1st John 4:20)

At this junction, I must point out the fact that walking in love is not easy because of our human nature, but as Christians, we have the privilege of the Holy Spirit who resides in us, He is capable of quickening our mortal bodies (Rom. 8:11). All we need do is ask for His help through prayers and follow His leading.

So, let's bring our attention back to the issue of Love languages. Each love language is unique and no love language is better than the other. I would be doing a little summary on each of the love languages, I hope you'll gain a thing or more from what I have to say.

Your love language as a person is your default way (natural way) of expressing or showing love to those around you, especially friends, family and loved ones. To know a person's love language, you have to understand that person by relating with and studying him or her. Each individual has at least two major love languages that he or she speaks fluently out of the five listed above, these are his or her primary and secondary love languages respectively.

... To be continued...

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this enlightening article, please don't hesitate to share with your contacts; friends, family and foes.

So, do you know your love language? What is it? And how do you express it? Please, let us know your views in the comment section below. Please, don't forget to follow this blog for more articles.

ONE LOVE! 💖

WHAT MAKES YOU BEHAVE LIKE YOU?

Recently or should I say for sometime now, there's been a lot of questions on my mind about why I act the way I do, why I react a particular way to a situation, different from how another person would react in such situation, what makes individuals act alike or differently as the case may be, etc. Okay, these questions kept coming so, I used one of the special and most useful products of technological advancement, the google search engine to solve the mystery. Of course, I discovered that these questions were popular to the majority all around the world, which gave rise to research on why we act the way we do by psychologists and other individuals. From my finding, this research gave rise to the discovery of what we now refer to as TEMPERAMENTS. My simple definition of temperament goes thus: Temperament refers to the fundamentals of why we act the way we do when presented with different situations or circumstances and also in our daily lives. These fundamentals are genetic

Self Discovery and Your Basic Temperament

In a previous article , we introduced temperaments as the fundamental reasons we act differently or alike as the case may be. The four major temperaments known are: Choleric (extroverted) Sanguine (extroverted) Melancholic (introverted)   Phlegmatic /Supine (introverted) Each of these temperaments have traits that are unique to them. When the temperaments blend together in a person, we see the person exhibit traits from their temperamental blend. The traits they show more determine their Primary temperament while the Secondary temperament, as the name implies, balances it out. The four temperaments combine to form blends which are 12 in number. You might also show tetiary and quaternary traits from other temperaments but these are negligible.  The 12 blends of temperaments (from the most extroverted to the most introverted) are:  Sanguine-Choleric (San-Chlor) - Complete Extrovert Choleric-Sanguine (Chlor-San) - Complete Extrovert  Sanguine-Phlegmatic (San-Phleg) -

An INFJ's Journey To Self Discovery

©16personalities.com In one sentence - It was hard. Growing up, I discovered quite quickly that I was different. The two words that I remember being used to describe me while growing up were - "Quiet and Slow." There were many instances in which the words were used but, the most notable experience was my tenth birthday anniversary.  I was born into a Christian family, so most celebrations were carried out within the religious gathering - my ten years old birthday celebration was not excluded either. It was a surprise celebration - I had no idea that it was being planned until the birthday morning when a huge cake landed on our doorstep. We (My family and I) took the cake and some snacks to the church family for the celebration, as was the norm.  Several people who had close relationships with me were given the chance to talk about me during the ceremony. I remember vividly because the event was recorded into a tape which I watched severally growing up. My brother
