Yesterday I finished John Maxwell’s “Everyone Communicates Few Connect”.  What a great read that was, my only issue was the chapters were to long and to be honest I’m not the best reader cause I am very easily distracted.  I did take away a ton of good info that I will be and have been applying to be a much better connector when communicating.

The new book I’m going to start tonight is “The 5 Love Languages” by Gary Chapman. I’ve been wanting to  read this book for about 6 months now but keep getting interested in other books.  This time I’ve finally put it on the bed so I pick it up before heading to sleep.  I’m pumped for this book because Lindsay already read it quite awhile ago and really found that it helped her understand why I love some of the things she does for me so much when normally she’d be like okay… not sure why he liked that but I’ll keep doing it. 

I’m interested to find out what my love languages are which she tells me are quality time and touch.  I’m even more interested to learn more about the love languages she has.  This will be a great book because it will help Lindsay and I understand each other better in why some of the things we do for each other matter.  I’m all for understanding my partner better and continually building upon our marriage for a strong foundation.  As Bridgett said in an earlier post, “I am “on guard” and work on it all…the…time” and out of that I was pulling out the work on the marriage all the time.  Its true, to many people just expect a marriage to work only to find out they are sadly mistaken.  So for me I love taking these little steps in reading a good book to get a better understanding.  I mean why not?
