Another thing the author talked about that struck me was how real and accurate the major love languages are. One of the husbands she spoke to thought she was doing everything she could to make her marriage work. He did all the housework, made dinner, cleaned, took the kids everywhere and was still confused as to why his marriage was in trouble. The couple went to talk to the author of this book and discovered the importance of love languages. The husband realized that while he did his best to make his wife feel loved, she simply didn't because she wasn't being loved in her native language. Looking back, he realized that he was behaving as if his primary love language were acts of service, doing things around the house, and doing everyday things to make her feel loved. But acts of service were not his primary love language at all. Indeed, it was quality time. None of the little chores and things he did for her communicated love to her. All he wanted was to spend time together, not focus on anything else but themselves. Eventually, he realized that once he started spending quality time together, their marriage would be born
