I understand the importance of being committed to understand and communicate with your loved ones in their love language........... if you pay attention you can pick up on them very easily...
my question is: should you, when getting to know someone, someone God obviously brought into your life, make sure that he has the same love languages..
funny, as I am writing down the question I already kind of know the answer...
Philippians 2:3-8:
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
and.... 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
so, then again, much more then seeking for that perfect match, even in something as helpful as the love languages... rather seek for someone who seeks first the Kingdom, and all these things will be given to you... right???
a relationship between two Christians that are committed to Jesus and the Word of God ( the same, ha) will work out because both will not be self seeking, both will put the other's needs before their own... and tada..
they will be able to communicate love to one another in the way the other understands...
pretty cool, that's what He does... the Jesus who loves us....
thanks for helping me out with this one :)
