Your Question:
What is the language of love when words fail?
Answer:
The language of love when words fail is not just about grand gestures or romantic phrases, but about the everyday expressions of affection and care that speak directly to our hearts. When words fail, it's the non-verbal cues that can convey love and connection. A gentle touch, a warm smile, or a listening ear can speak volumes about our love and concern for one another. In our marriage, I've come to realize that my wife Susan values verbal affirmation and affection, while I tend to show my love through actions and quality time together. When I'm busy with my pastoral duties or lost in my science fiction novels, I may forget to speak words of encouragement or affection. But Susan knows that a simple hug or a kind word can go a long way in communicating my love for her. The language of love is not just about what we say, but about how we show up for each other in the everyday moments. When words fail, it's the love currencies that we've accumulated over time that can speak louder than words. For Susan, it's the memories of our romantic getaways, the laughter we share, and the quiet moments we spend together that remind her of my love. And for me, it's the way she supports my passions, the way she encourages me to pursue my dreams, and the way she loves our children that reminds me of her love for me.
