The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

This is a book about relationships and how to love. Melissa recommended it to me and I thought it was very good. I was able to determine that my love language is Quality Time. Basically that means that I need John to spend time with me when we're not distracted by other things. Since we're in a long distance relationship right now, that is kind of hard, but even a phone call every day or two where I can tell he's actually paying attention to me only and not his homework or the tv or whatever else. Unfortunately I'm not actually getting quite that kind of attention right now, but hopefully John will also read this book, like I suggested to him, and he'll figure out what it is I need. Don't get me wrong... I have asked for this kind of attention, many times. But sometimes guys just don't get it.

I'd also like to find out what John's love language is. I think part of the problem with a long distance relationship is that I don't know him as well as I'd like to, so I can't figure it out as easily as I might be able to if he were actually around a lot of the time.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is in a relationship or might want to be in a relationship someday. Heck, anyone else too. I saw some things that made my reactions at work make a lot more sense too.
