When Andy & I started dating, he let me know that he did NOT like PDA. In fact, if we had been holding hands and someone came around the corner, he dropped my hand. Soon, we just quit holding hands or touching in public. That was 34 years ago!!!
And NOW he tells me that "touch" is his love language? I was so blown away. How could we have lived 34 years with this kind of miscommunication?!? Unbelievable. (And we've even taught classes on this--love languages & communication!)
I wonder how many hugs it will take to make up for that many years?
Hugs are good.

sounds like that could be pretty fun catching up on :-)
I toyed with the idea of saying something funny along those lines, but didn't want my grown children gagging. HA!
Becky, I think this is hilarious! I understand your blog really well. I think sometimes a person needs most what they say they don't want? Does that make any sense? Isn't marriage the greatest thing? We have been married for 31 1/2 years and dated mostly on for 5 years before that. We definitely grew up together. haha Now, to answer your earlier question - no I don't think I wore hotpants, but Tamra has looked at some of my high school pictures and was TOTALLY shocked that we all wore our shorts so short! hahahaha What do you expect from this athletic shorts, bermuda, capri wearing generation :) Of course, I am all about those capris now too.
ROFL! You can't imagine how much better that makes me feel. Mainly what I got out of the class I took on love languages is that I DO NOT have the gift of discernment. I couldn't figure out anyone's love language.
That is too funny! I used to be afraid that after being married to David for 13 years we would run out of new stuff to learn about each other...thanks for proving me wrong! Have fun making up for lost time=D

Gag, gag, gag! Just kidding. I read your comment after Julie's, and I couldn't resist. I remember the first time I ever saw you two kiss. It wasn't weird, like gross weird, just weird because in all the time I've know you, I had never seen you hug, much less kiss. I think this is where David's famous saying comes in: I can't read your mind, Lindsey. If you want something, you have to tell me.
I think Andy could've disclosed this to you a little sooner!
So, does this mean there's going to be a lot more PDA in your house now?
I am gagging.
But it's funny because I NEVER EVER remember PDA between the two of you in our home. Is it public even in front of kids?
Jay is not afraid of PDA. Not at all. So, you'd think that his love language would be touch. Oh no, it's most definitely gifts. Three letters BCP. :)
I'm still gagging.
LOL! You're too funny, Amy! With dad, I guess he did think it was PDA in front of kids. I'm still blown away. The funny thing...as he was describing what he needed...it was for me to hold his hand in CHURCH!!! That's what's left me so confused. He HATED that when we were dating. Anyway...he's trained me the wrong way for way too long. But I'm trying! Quit gagging.
Don't feel bad, Sandra. I can't figure out my own love language, much less someone else! Maybe Becky needs to have a Love Languages Cyber-Training! Some days I think I must have ALL of the Love Languages!
