What is Love?

Is it love when you have so many ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends?
Suppose a guy has 5 girlfriends on his single-hood period, one after another. Every time they went on a date, the guy said "I Love You" to the girl. If he has 5 girlfriends, which one does he really love? Is the word "love" is meant to be said so easily?

Is it love when you keep changing your partners?
Suppose a woman has 3 divorces in her life and now having a relationship with another guy. Apparently, to exchange partners is quite common to the celebrities. Which guy does she really love? Is the word "love" can be easily moved between one guy after another? How about the vows that are made on your wedding ceremony? Is it just words to be said or does it really come from the heart?

My Love Language Personal Profile

I did the test online and here's the result:

5 for Words of Affirmation
11 for Quality Time
7 for Receiving Gifts
3 for Act of Service
4 for Physical Touch

Quality Time
In Quality Time, nothing says “I love you” like full, undivided attention. Being there for this type of person is critical, but really being there—with the TV off, fork and knife down, and all chores and tasks on standby—makes you feel truly special and loved. Distractions, postponed activities, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful.

Interpretation:
The highest score indicates your primary love language (the highest score is 12). It’s not uncommon to have two high scores, although one language does have a slight edge for most people. That just means two languages are important to you.

The lower scores indicate those languages you seldom use to communicate love and which probably don’t affect you very much on an emotional level.

You may have scored certain ones of the love languages more highly than others, but do not dismiss those other languages as insignificant. Your friends and loved ones may express love in those ways, and it will be beneficial for you to understand this about them.

In the same way, it will benefit your friends and loved ones to know your love language and express his affection for you in ways that you interpret as love. Every time you or they speak one another’s language, you score emotional points with one another. Of course, this isn’t a game with a scorecard! The payoff of speaking each other’s love language is more of a feeling of “this person understands me and cares for me.” This translates into better communication, increased understanding, and, ultimately, improved relationship.

and share your result, :)
I'd like to encourage you to do so because you will know what to expect in your relationship and how to work on it

Change

You can't change the world
and don't expect people to change but,
if you want to see the difference
start to change it from yourself
