5 Love Languages

Men express their love by doing something, such as, providing care, and financial support. She states that many studies have shown that women are better in love than men. She argues that these studies are biased because they only focus on expressing love, they do not focus practical part of the love. Cancian, also argues that contemporary literature and poetry also emphasize on feminized version of love. Poetry is full of expressing intense emotions toward a person, and the poetry often ignores the instrumental aspect of love. The feminized version of love differs among different social classes. Cancian say, “ …poorer people are more likely than they to see practical help and financial assistance as a sign of love” (521). This could be true because we may try to achieve what we need through love. If a person does not need financial support and physical caring, the person might expect more emotional version of love. I think what we expect from love is dependent to our circumstances. A woman with high education, and stable income, might not consider instrumental important. However, a house wife who is financially dependent to her husband might prefer having more instrumental love to be included in their

Iyengar, S. S., Lepper, M. R. When choice is demotivating: Can one desire too much of a good thing?

This quiz "The five love languages" by Gary Chapman, is an interesting quiz regarding your love life. After taking this quiz, I read that the most important thing to me is quality time, " nothing says ' I love you' more than undivided attention. " I scored a ten out of twelve on this section. Communication is key, when my partner and I communicate; we have a deeper connection, than just touch. Although touch is important, actions speak louder than words.

“We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.” William Glasser developed the choice theory. The choice theory states that we can choose most of our behaviors. In the book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian, Junior possesses some but not all of Glasser’s human needs. The human needs he possesses (belonging, love, fun, and surviving) shaped his personality and was important to the progression of the story.

In a story with a great amount of chatting, nothing much actually gets said in "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love." We've got the typical and average kissing, holding hands, and saying "I love you." All of these are ways in which the characters use the language of love to communicate their affections. But somehow, this language all seems insufficient as the darkness falls on the couples and the gin slowly disappears. At the end of the day, words fail to define the meaning of love, and the characters struggle to say just what they mean, if they even know what they mean in the first place.

The nature of human desires and behaviors is a questionable and highly critiqued idea. Human desires and behaviors are extremely important to the lives of humans, and other kinds of life. Desires and behaviors are found in every living being, to a certain extent. Desires, along with behaviors, are a crucial part to life itself. This aspect implemented in different forms of life plays a large role in critical thinking and decision making. Phaedrus, An Education, O Brother, Where Art Thou, Gulliver’s Travels, and The Descent of Man explore and exemplify different ways desire and behavior affect the thought and decision making process.

However, the listening passage describes that the conflict approach is not the only approach to personality development. Another point of view is that everybody have a single force inside of their body that determines the success or the fail. The satisfaction that people feel contributes to shape

Throughout the world, there are numerous ways to express and show love to the ones we care about. However, what does love truly mean? There are numerous forms of love, but how can you define romantic love? People tend to agree and disagree about the definition of this type of love, and cannot come to a concise conclusion of what it means. Erich Fromm states that mature love includes: care, responsibility, respect, and knowledge. As I have interviewed people of different ages and marital status, I found that everyone who I had interviewed had a similar idea to what romantic love is. Nevertheless, those who have been married for over twenty years seemed to have a deeper knowledge of what love is than those who are young and single. Although

Coaches should endeavor to help couples restore the joy in their marriage through this beautiful gift from God. Coaches should encourage husbands to cultivate the desire that they have for their wife and vice versa. The little things that are often left undone can make a profound difference when they are all put together. Love looks for a way to express interest and commitment. Scripture gives insight into the power of romance; a kiss can change the outlook of a whole day (Song of Solomon 1:2). Gifts and compliments can stoke the fires of passion (Song of Solomon 1: 9:11). A weekend getaway can communicate interest

(R) Cain highlights important components of Mihaly Csikszentmihaly’s research on the state of being he calls “flow.” Flow is the state in which one feels completely engaged in an activity. Research suggest that we are either motivated by the need to eliminate unpleasant conditions or to work towards an expected reward. However, in flow, an individual can be motivated to work around the clock for multiple days without a specific reason but rather to continue working. The author recommends introverts to discover their flow by using their gifts of knowledge, endurance, and freedom from temptations like money or status. Although introverts often are challenged by finding their strengths, they must stay true to their nature. (C) Similarly, I tend

This theory argues that wellbeing comes from the actualization of one’s preferences in their life. These theorists argue that it does not matter what one prefers or desires out of their life or the universe. All that matters is that these preferences or desires are satisfied. For example, if someone desires to live in a certain country, then moving there will satisfy their preference and therefore lead to individual well-being. Preference theorists are categorized into ideal preference theorists and actual preference theorists.

Over the course of the semester, we have read a multitude of books from various authors. Some stand out more than others, and some I agree with more than others. For example, there is almost nothing from Aristotle that I agree with, but I agree with almost everything Berry says. In this essay, I will walk through Aristotle, Berry, and Day, and decide whether I agree or disagree. Then, I will give my own personal view on happiness.

Self-Determination Theory represents a broad framework for the study of human motivation and personality. It focuses on conditions

When reading early British texts, readers often notice that two main themes are recurring within the stories and poems of the time. These themes are love and religion; both of these were important within the culture. However, the readers may not realize that the language used in describing the two different themes is not different at all. In fact, the language of love and the language of religion are very similar, especially in medieval texts. Two texts that provide an excellent example of this type of language are Marie de France’s Lanval and Margery Kempe’s The Book of Margery Kempe. Comparing the language used in these works with the biblical book Song of Songs, it is clear that the language used in the texts of the medieval period doubles as both religious and romantic.

A personality inventory comprising 225 pairs of statements relating to likes and preferences the respondent being required to choose the preferred alternative in each case. The scale is ipsative, and it yields scores on 15 needs based on the theory of personality introduced by the US psychologist Henry Alexander Murray (1893–1988) in his book Explorations in Personality (1938), namely needs for achievement, deference, order, exhibition, autonomy, affiliation, intraception, succourance, dominance, abasement, nurturance, change, endurance, homosexuality, and aggression.
