I'm reading the book by Dr Gary Chapman. Of course, I'd long since heard of it but I was only passingly familiar with the concepts. I had toyed with figuring out my own love language but being single - well, it never clicked.
Until a couple weeks ago. It's bizarre because for the longest I couldn't tolerate anyone I didn't know - or trust - touching me but I think touch is my love language. One of the things I value most about my kitties is that they touch me - they are warm bodies that make a cold home livable for me. Few people do - and that's partially because I'm not as approachable as I should be - but the result is I don't get much in the way of physical affection (not sex ) except from my kitties.
So, what do you guys think? Is Chapman's idea of a 'love tank' (analogous to a gas tank) a sound one? What do you do when you don't have a spouse to 'fill' it?
