      That is why there is this language of love book, to help couples bridge the gap. For the recipient to understand what the giver is trying to say and for the giver to know how to 'give' more effectively.

      I suspect I've been mis-interpreting dh's love language. He told me his is 'act of service' šŸ˜“

        Interestingly, he doesn't express his love using his own languages. He expresses his love by 'act of service' so he does a fair bit of house chores voluntarily. Erh, still accetable la, that means I've less chores to do at home :evil:



        Hey... that's like us!! I think I have an easier time. All I have to do is open my mouth and say \"I'm so glad you're by hubby\" or other soppy stuff. He actually has to DO stuff for me. But well... I ain't complaining. Nope nope... not complaining.

        :celebrate:

          Have been having some health issues and also under monitoring of my multiple growing fibroids.....recently, DH's colleague had to undergo an urgent womb removal due to huge fibroids....he became worried & urged me to quickly go for my half-yearly review.


          Did the womb review & called him to report that it's stable (growing slowly) and can opt not to do womb removal yet.....review 6mths later. Also, blood test for some markers was OK (had a lump at neck, giddy spells etc)......

          We didn't speak much that night & after a long day, I slept early while DH went out @8pm for a long cycling exercise. ~1+am, he came home, I was dead asleep. All sweaty, he came & held my hands and said \"You know, I'm very happy everything OK\". I could barely open my eyes.....saw him still in his biking attire, \"oh\" him and drop back to sleep immediately. The next day, I recalled the whole incident.....only then I realised he was referring to my health status.....well, he doesn't express or say much most of the time, but in times like this, I know he cares and it sure feels good :love:

              Thanks. Will take care....would want to see my kids to University (wah, another 15 years...gosh). And yes, our spouse will be for life, so all of us should try to keep the fire alive so that when our kids are gone, our spouse would still be holding OUR hands & not mistress's hands šŸ˜‰
