Your Question:
What's the language of love when words fail to convey?
Answer:
The language of love when words fail to convey is often referred to as a love language. It's the way in which we express and receive love that is unique to each individual. Just like how I, John, might not understand a word of a foreign language, our spouses may not understand our way of expressing love. We must learn to send love in forms that the other person can comprehend. For example, my wife Susan may need to hear verbal affirmation, while I may need to receive respect in public. If we don't speak each other's love language, it can lead to hurt and conflict in our marriage. It's essential to discern our partner's love language and communicate in a way that speaks to their heart. This can be through words, actions, or gestures that show love and appreciation. The Bible teaches us that love is a deliberate choice, not just an involuntary feeling. As a pastor, I've seen many couples struggle with love language conflicts, but by learning to speak each other's language, they can soften their attitude and change their strategy. By doing so, they can bring the remarkable and healing power of love into their spouse's life.
