Happy Valentines Day

I have a question that I would like for you to think about. Before we were given a drivers license, we where required to learn about road signs, speed limits and how to maneuver a vehicle. Before we were given a diploma we were required to learn about areas of academics. Like in those examples, what have you been required to learn in order to be successful in your relationships?

Below you will find a few books I would like to recommend. These books will build you up with sound knowledge on how to succeed in relationships. Choosing to love includes learning how to love.

• The DNA of Relationships by Dr. Gary Smalley; this book brings awareness to the unknowing actions we do that causes damage to our relationships. Every one has a core fear and if you learn both you and your mates core fear you can stop doing the damage dance with each other. This book is also great for singles because it brings a lot of awareness to self. We must learn to take responsibility for self before we can be responsible to and for others. This is a great read for married and singles alike.
  
  
  

• His Needs Her Needs by Dr. Willard F. Harly; this book is about the ten emotional needs of men and woman.  Both sexes have the same needs but the order of importance is different.  The emotional needs are admiration, affection, conversation, domestic support, family commitment, financial support, honesty and openness, physical attractiveness, recreational companionship, and sexual fulfillment. 
  
  
  

• The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman Ph.D.; this book speaks on expressing love to your mate in the language that your mate relates too.  Many try to express love to their mates according to how they want love expressed to them. When one does not express love in their mates love language the mate feels unloved.   The issue lies in understanding the mates love language. The five love languages are Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch.   This enriching information goes beyond spouses and can be used with friends, associates and children.  For every one has their individual love language, learn yours and your mates.
