About this blog

This blog looks at how families express themselves and provides practical suggestions for improving communication.  Of course, "effective" and "improving" are value-laden terms, so while you may not agree with each of my suggestions, I do hope you'll keep stopping by to find the nuggets that work for you and those you love.  As you find ideas of value, please share this page with others.

NOTE: On the right-hand side of this page, click on "Follow Me On Twitter" and you will receive an update each time I post to this blog.  Also, click on "Receive Our 'Effective Family Communication' Newsletter" and you'll be added to our mailing list.

Love Language #5

The fifth love language is physical touch.

This isn’t just a reference to sexual activity, but to simple everyday expressions of presence and caring.  Hugs, light touches to face, pats on the back, and holding hands all qualify.

imageFor those who are married and have children at home, the next step after identifying your spouse’s primary love language, is to determine the love languages of your children.  This will help to reinforce your genuine affection for your children in ways that they understand and appreciate.

Start speaking the love languages of others and see how much better they understand you!
