My Love Language(s)

Someone else posted this so it was on my mind and I decided to look for a quiz to take to determine mine.  I already sort of had an idea, but wanted to see how I measured according to "the book".  As I was taking the quiz, I started to realize that there wasn't going to be a big jump in the rankings, i.e. the number one ranked language wouldn't have a significantly higher score than number two, and so on down the line.  I can't remember the mathematical term for that and it's bothering me.  I was right, and here's what I got.
I feel loved when...

My Primary Love Language is Quality Time

My Detailed Results:
Quality Time: 10
Physical Touch: 7
Words of Affirmation: 6
Receiving Gifts: 4
Acts of Service: 3

About this quiz

Unhappiness in relationships is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. It can be helpful to know what language you speak and what language those around you speak.

The score isn't important, even taking the quiz isn't necessarily important, but it is an important idea to think about when you're in a relationship and especially a long distance one.  Communicating is important in every relationship, not just romantic ones, and knowing how your friends, family and, of course, romantic partners show love is a huge part of communicating successfully.  You can think you're being very loving, but the person you're showing love for thinks you're not interested and you have no idea!

I get off on tangents a lot. Anyway, I'm not surprised by what I got.  And I think quality time ranks higher than physical touch because Luke and I are with each other so infrequently that other things have come to mean more than they probably would if we weren't long distance.  'Cause I love hugs!
