What is the Difference Between Infatuation and Love? What is Puppy Love? Which Brain Chemicals Underlie the Experience of Romantic Love? What are Love Languages? Dr. Gary Chapman, a Christian family counselor and author, has developed a relationship-building program called the 5 love languages. Love languages are defined as verbal and non-verbal communications between couples which improve the mental and physical well-being of both partners. These mutual expressions and actions help to build up a nurturing environment in which couples can improve both their emotional and physical intimacy levels. The first of the five love languages includes words of affirmation. These words go far beyond a perfunctory "I love you" ritual, and include specific recognition of a partner's contributions to the relationship or the household or a career. The point of the exercise is to provide enough positive affirmation of a partner's self-worth to motivate that person towards even more personal growth. By telling a partner or friend or co-worker how much you appreciate his or her efforts, you are speaking in a language he or she can understand. The second of the five love languages involves spending quality time with a loved one. This means setting aside a meaningful amount of personal time in which the friend or...

...Language of Love Chapter 1 Samantha inhaled deeply nang makatapak ulit siya sa Pilipinas pero di pa man napupuno ng polluted na hangin ng Maynila ang baga niya ay dumating na ang tagasundo niya para ihatid siya papuntang restaurant kung saan magkikita sila ng manager niya. " You are five minutes late Samantha!" bungad nito nang makarating siya. Samantha frowned, " we are in the Philippines and the traffic here is hell, okay?" Umupo siya sa katapat na upuan nito at inabot ang kape ni Greg. Humigop siya sa tasa nito pero muntik na niyang maibuga ang laman ng bibig nang makita ang pandidiri sa mukha nito. "eew!! that was gross Samantha" "Bakit naman?" maang-maangan niya "You know what? sa lahat ng models na kilala ko ikaw at ikaw lang ang walang Poise" sabi nito bago humigop sa bagong order na kape, ayaw na kasi nitong uminom sa tasa na ininuman niya kaya binigay nalang ng bakla sa kanya at umorder ng panibago hinawakan niya ang dibdib at kinwari hindi makahinga,"ang sakit mo naman magsalita Greg! ang sakit sakit" umirap ito sa kanya, "ang drama mo girl!" Sa katunayan wala naman talaga sa plano niya ang pasukin ang mundo ng pagmomodelo, nag-umpisa lang sa pustahan nilang magpipinsan nang minsang magbakasyon siya sa Europe na kapag may nakapasa sa kanila sa auditions ng isang modelling contest ay magbabayad ng ten thousand euros sa taong makakapasok and the rest was history 'ika nga.

... 2012 The Five Love Languages With the divorce rate at over fifty percent, what can be done to keep love alive? What is the secret to a happy marriage? These are questions that Gary Chapman explores and defines in The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate. If couples are to communicate effectively with each other they must learn the language with whom they want to communicate. This book explores the five emotional love languages and the way couples speak and understand emotional love. Specifically the emotional love language a husband or wife would consider as their primary “love language”. Couples may be expressing what they know is their love language, but they may not be speaking their spouses love language and their spouse is interpreting it as a foreign language. Chapman insists when you identify and learn to speak your spouse’s primary love language you will have discovered the key to a long-lasting loving marriage. The Five Love Languages explored in Chapman’s book are: (1) Words of Affirmation, (2) Quality Time, (3) Receiving Gifts, (4) Acts of Service, and (5) Physical Touch. “At the heart of mankind’s existence is the desire to be intimate and to be loved by another. Marriage is designed to meet that need for intimacy and love” (Chapman). Each person in a marriage has an emotional love language that speaks loudly to them and when used by the other person it fills up the receivers emotional love tank. Gary Chapman...

...For the five love languages quiz I scored a nine in acts of service and in quality time. I scored an eight in words of affirmation, a three in physical touch, and a one in receiving gifts. I feel that these results definitely match up with my own personal love language. One way in which they match up is my score of receiving gifts, in my family or in my love relationships gifts were never a big part of the relationship and receiving gifts did not make me love the person more. Another way is through the physical touch score of three, I have never been a touchy feely person in any of my past relationships. However, I do like some touch and to hold my boyfriend’s hand when we’re walking or for him to give me a kiss on the check in public. I was...

...Introduction The Love Language video presents a male and female communicating with each other. The female initially seems very uninterested, but the male is persistent and is very interested in getting to know the female in the video. There’s constant use of nonverbal cues being sent that can easily be misinterpreted. The video depicts several communications concepts including stereotyping, barriers, non-verbal communications, mutual attraction, and self-disclosure. The Love Language video ultimately reveals the reason the female initially seem uninterested and why she was giving the male in the video a hard time; the female is deaf. Social Learning Theory The social learning theory argues that children abandon behaviors when they are punished and repeat behaviors that are rewarded. This process of reinforcement continues throughout life, where men are continually encouraged to engage in masculine behavior and women are encouraged to behave in a feminine manner (Wood, 2007). As children become adults, they transfer these beliefs onto future generations (Basu, 2004). According to this theory, girls and boys assume a passive role rather than an active role in the learning process. We see the social learning theory displayed as the male in the video initiates the interaction between himself and the female sitting next to him. He first tries to initiate a conversation by saying “nice day today, huh”, but he gets no response. He then asks to borrow her pen and then the female...

...English 178 - poetry | Donne’s “Language of Love” in Elegy XIX: “To His Mistress Going To Bed”. | Poetry Semester Essay | | Telan Hamer | 18184626Tutor : Tamsyn Allies | | The poetic works of John Donne has been afforded high acclaim when it comes to his use of language in the dominion of love. In his elegy “To His Mistress Going To Bed”, he beckons for his lover to be bedded with him, describing her beauty as he tries to influence her to disrobe. Donne, in this poem, makes visible the way in which love and desire can be expressed in language attiring his poems with extended metaphor, metaphysical conceit and masterful wit, to the extent to which one may re-read the poem simply to savour the way in which Donne has sculpted his imagery. “To His Mistress Going To Bed” is seen to fall under the poetic genre known as ‘the blazon’, a genre of poetry that glorifies a woman by focusing on certain desirable body parts whilst using appropriate metaphor. Hence, the main focus of this essay will be to provide a commentary on the use of “the language of love” with reference to Donne’s blazon, by highlighting a series of appropriate examples that will provide a platform to analyse what it is that Donne is trying to convey in his poem, and how he accomplishes its conveyance. The examples will be analysed with reference to how the poet incorporates certain aspects of language such as diction, form, style, tone, rhetoric, and his use of figures of speech. The opening lines...

...Marvell have used poetic form, structure and language to present their thoughts and feelings of love Both Shakespeare and Marvell present a vast array of thoughts and feelings regarding love. Shakespeare makes his true thoughts and feelings apparent through a declaration in ‘Sonnet 116’ by stating how love cannot be shaken by adversary or changed by time. However, in Marvell’s ‘To his Coy Mistress’ the speaker is more impatient, presenting a sense of carnal desire to fulfil his sexual desires rather than true love. Where Shakespeare is influenced by the concept of romantic love in the Elizabethan era and follows traditional sonnet formats to create passion, Marvell creates a satirical tone to comment on romantic love through the conventions of a metaphysical poem. Despite this difference, time is personified in both poems to represent an enemy of all lovers. Shakespeare is inspired by his era and is more sincere and passionate in his portrayal and belief of true and constant love in ‘Sonnet 116’, whereas in Marvell’s ‘To his Coy Mistress’, the speaker is driven by passion and desire to fulfil lust, that could potentially turn into love. Marvell’s representation may be harsh, but it is more considerate of a harsher reality. Through structure, Shakespeare defines his true feelings of love – by telling the reader what love is, and what it isn’t. It presents the extreme ideal of romantic love and insists that this is the only love that can be ‘true’, otherwise ‘no man ever loved’...

...Name: Delano Hinds ID#: A00327318 Love in Religion from East to West Love is expressed in many languages and is in the many different religions that exist upon the planet. From Hinduism to Christianity, it seems that each religion has the same priority, which is to teach and show how God loves us, his children, and how we in turn must show that same intense love to others that we coincide with on a daily basis. It is seen as the way to achieve world peace, unity and progress; “Love thy neighbor as you love yourself.” With the help of Thomas Jay Oord, I will go into depth of how love and its teachings through religion have affected people and discuss the differences between Christianity and Islam, or love in the east and west. In the eastern world, there is much discipline and faith that the people of Islam, Muslims, acknowledge through the Qur’an. “As such, the Qur’an for Muslims is the primary means of encountering God” (Abdin, “Love in Islam”, p.188). It is this deep desire of wanting to be on the path with Allah, that Muslims believe that the path to true love is through Allah and that true human love is part of Allah. “Muslims believe that true human love is part of Allah’s love and that it is the duty of Muslims to love one another truly” (Abdin, “Love in Islam”, p.188). The sense of placing one’s true “overseer” ahead of those whom you are supposed to love is highly regarded in the Islam world. There are different schools of thought in the Muslim world, they are...

...Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body A Cliff Notes’ Version Introduction A. The Theology of the Body is the term used to describe the teaching of Pope John Paul about the human person and human sexuality given during his Wednesday Catecheses in St. Peter’s Square between September 5, 1979 and November 28, 1984. John Paul II says that these catecheses could be called “Human Love in the Divine Plan” or “The Redemption of the Body and the Sacramentality of Marriage.” B. Various scholars, in different language groupings, will generally break the theology of the body found in these 129 catecheses down into four main sections, others six. I think the most logical way to do so is to break it down into seven interrelated sections: 1) The Original Unity of Man and Woman as found in the Book of Genesis • 23 catecheses from September 5, 1979-April 9, 1980 2) Purity of Heart versus Concupiscence: Catechesis on the Sermon on the Mount • 27 catecheses from April 16 to December 10, 1980 3) St. Paul’s Teaching on the Human Body: Life according to the Spirit • 13 catechesis from December 17, 1980 to May 6, 1981 4) Marriage and celibacy in light of the resurrection of the body • 9 catechesis from November 11, 1981 to February 10, 1982 5) Virginity or celibacy for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven • 14 catecheses from March 10, 1982 to July 21, 1982 6) The sacramentality of marriage based on Ephesians 5:22-33 • 27 catecheses from July 28, 1982 to July 4, 1984 7) Reflections...

...The film adaptation of Twelfth Night is a light hearted comedy of love, exuberance, drunkenness, deception and mistaken identity. According to Stephen Hitching “...twelfth nights plot is delightfully absured, the acting brilliant and the directing superb. The contrast between the proud and proper Malovlio and the drunken, stupor of Sir Toby Belch creates much laughter along; with the switch from the original script where the Duke opens the play to the sound of Fest’s voice certainly makes the film adaptation a riveting experience. It is the sort of comedy you can watch over and over again. Both Nunn and Shakespeare displayed effective use of technique through the use of non-verbal elements such as costuming and verbal elements such as language, respectively .Shakespeare’s mastery of imagery and Nunn’s use of visual and auditory appeal reinforce the timelessness of themes such as Love and Deception. Costuming is the vehicle through which the theme of deception is revealed. Trevor Nunn’s interpretation of disguise gave the audience a sense of understanding of his idea into the cross dressing process by using Visual Imagery which is seen through the Decepetor herself Viola .She presented herself as man or by her transformation name ‘Cesario’ by getting rid of her feminine garments, cutting her hair, banding her breast, putting on trousers with suspenders, a white shirt and jacket accessorising the complete look with a moustache. However with Viola developing a friendship...

...HOW DO YOU EXPRESS LOVE? William Shakespeare expresses his love and other themes in many different ways. The play Much Ado About Nothing was written by Shakespeare uses language and dramatic elements such as puns, mistaken identify, allusions and comedic language to convey key themes and characterisation. Act 2 scene 1 explores and challenges the themes of love, deception, and loyalty. The themes of love, deception, and loyalty are emphasised in this play and can clearly be seen in Act 2 scene 1. The theme of love is evident between Hero and Claudio in this scene, as they come together in the presence of Hero’s family and friends as they are conjoined together and plan to get married. “Silence is a perfect herald of joy. I was but little happy if I could say how much. - Lady, as you are mine, I am yours. I give myself for you and dote upon the exchange”. This extract of the play portrays Claudio’s happiness that he will be marrying Hero. Hero indeed conveys her joy too as she whispers into Claudio’s ear, “My cousin tells him in his ear that he is...

...How is language used to show the relationship between Olivia and Viola in 1:5? In Act 1 scene 5 we witness the first meeting of Viola, dressed as a man and calling herself Cesario, and Olivia. During this scene Olivia uses language to hint at the fact that she loves Cesario but at the same time Viola is using language to hint at the fact she is indeed a woman. We see hints of Olivia falling for Cesario as she sends away Maria, "Give us the place alone.", which makes the audience question why she wants no one else present. She then, clearly impressed by Cesario, tries to impress him too; She uses her beauty. She unveils, "we will draw the curtain" to "show (him) the picture". Just like with Feste, we see that Olivia likes Cesario's cheekiness and boldness. We know this because she let's Cesario get away with being rude, only commenting, "Yet you began rudely." Another interpretation of this is that at the beginning of the meeting Olivia isn't impressed by Viola/Cesario's boldness, but by the end has warmed up to 'him' and stops treating 'him' as a servant, or another one of Orsino's messengers whom she finds annoying. "From the count Orsino, is it?" "We'll once more hear Orsino's embassy." In this interpretation she goes from using a more reserved tone, answering little to Viola's long texts, "Tell me your mind." to using a more interested tone, "What is your parentage?" The shift in her feelings are due to how Viola presents herself and uses her language to give Orsino's...

...Sarcasm In the song Sarcasm, by Get Scared the author uses metaphors and symbolic language in the song to convey that love that causes excruciating pain isn’t love. The author uses symbolic language in stanza three," Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts,If this is love I don't wanna be loved,You pollute the room with a filthy tongue,Watch me choke it down so I can throw it up." The author includes this to support that love shouldn't hurt because in this stanza it says that hurtful secrets are being revealed and is hurting the main character/singer. He doesn't want to be in a relationship with his spouse anymore because all she does is bringing him anguish because she verbally abuses him. She does so because she considers doing...
