I borrowed a book from the church library quite recently. It’s called “The five Love Languages of Teenagers”. Well, I find it rather interesting though I haven’t finish the book. The 5 love languages consists of :
(a) Words of Affirmation
(b) Quality Time
(c) Receiving Gifts
(d) Acts of Service
(e) Physical Touch
Just in case you don’t know what’s your love language is, try doing this test.
Remember, you’re going to see 30 pairs of things that parents do or say to show love to their kids. They may be things your parents do or say or that you wish your parents would do or say. Pick only one item in each box that you like best, and circle the letter that goes with that item. When you finish looking at all 30 pairs, count how many times you circled each letter and transfer that letter to the appropriate blank at the end of the test. Here we go..

Your score
A = _____ Words of Affirmation D = _____ Acts of Service

C = _____ Receiving Gifts
The letter or love language that receives the most points is your primary love language. If you score the same score for 2 love languages, then you are bilingual. If you score high on one love language and have a close second score, that second highest score is your secondary love language!
