LOVE LANGUAGE | ACT OF GIVING

When we acknowledge that a language has power, value and stewardship of that "language" increases. —K. Wambach

Language: Act of Giving | The Receiving of Gifts

It is import to look at both sides of the "Gift" and remember that the language it's self is a gift of communication to bring advantage, skill and connection to the relationship.
“If you or your partner’s love language is gifts, that means you feel loved [or that you’re demonstrating love] with a tangible item,”

I have taken the liberty to expand my thoughts to our LOVE language theme. Love Languages | Hitting the Mark | Dreams. Without the knowledge or ability to listen and express, the language is in a state of neglect.

“Whether that item is a tiny trinket from a thrift store, or a 50-foot sailboat is inconsequential. Either convey the same message: I was thinking about you when I saw this. You’re always on my mind.”
In that sense, the true meaning of gift giving isn’t extravagance, it’s sentimentality. The thought is the biggest part of the investment. A person who feels loved through these items might cherish the gift, however small, more than another who speaks a different love language. Every time they see it, it will serve as a reminder that they are loved.

Before digging into the love language of receiving gifts, specifically, let’s first review all five of Chapman’s languages. They’re as follows:

Physical Touch, which means that we show and receive love through affirmative touching such as holding hands, cuddling, kissing, and even sex.
Quality Time, which means we need to spend meaningful time with our partner to feel loved. This quality time can range from chatting over dinner to going for a long walk.
Acts of Service, which translates to showing and feeling love through helpful service, such as cooking a meal or cleaning out the car.
Words of Affirmation, which means that more than anything we feel loved or show our love through verbal praise, compliments, and expressions of love.
Gift Giving, which means we “speak” our love through presents ranging from small tokens to surprise deliveries. Credit verywellmind

COACHINGFORLIFE

For love, we will climb mountains, cross seas, traverse desert sands, and endure untold hardships. Without love, mountains become unclimbable, seas uncrossable, deserts unbearable,
and hardships our lot in life."
—Gary Chapman

I will leave you with a few pointers to hit the mark with your love intended!

Pointers that Hit the Mark

Gifts should tell a story. And the receiver wants to know the story when receiving, or tell the story in the act of giving. Story? Thought, motive, place, it reminds me of... sharing and memory.
*Recognizing. If a person is unaware of the languages of LOVE recognition that they are responding towards you, even if its there own love language the recognition brings value. Maturity in relationship see's that they are reaching out to show you love.
Education and communication. I took me twenty years to teach my husband I prefer white roses! ARGH! we might say. The best show and tell is to involve them in the process of your giving to others.
