Love Languages & Sexual Intimacy

You've probably heard of love languages, or maybe you haven't. But when minister Gary Chapman noted that spouses often communicated love past one another, he realized that we express love in different ways. So, he proposed that there are five love languages—and his book of the same name became a bestseller and perennial favorite. Today, we'll talk about those languages and what they mean when it comes to our favorite topic: sex.

From the Bible

Gifts: Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom— there I will give you my love. Song of Songs 7:12

Quality Time: My beloved is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the rugged hills. Song of Songs 2:17 Physical Touch: His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me. Song of Songs 2:6, 8:3

Acts of Service: I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house— she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates. Song of Songs 8:2

Words of Affirmation:

HE How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.

SHE How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant. (Many other passages in Song of Solomon demonstrate Words of Affirmation!)
