Whether we are conscious of it or not, each of us wear a pair of lenses, or "glasses," that alter the way we perceive the world around us. As children, we observe the world through unfiltered lenses. But as time pass, we quickly learn, implicitly and/or explicitly, how to interpret the world through the lenses of those around us (i.e. family members, teachers, peers). Having grown up and after having had these lenses on for so long, we forget sometimes that we even have them on. It is then that we fail to realize that our lenses are tinted through our experiences and what we have been taught by those we know.

Through Dr. Gary Chapman's personal and professional experiences, he came to realize that how people perceive and express love differed. Dr. Chapman succinctly categorized people's perceptions and expressions of love into 5 different "love languages." Each one of us is said to have a "primary love language," whereby we feel the most loved when our partners, or those around us, express love to us using that modality. |
