1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,280 S1: Brian writes. Gary, what if I'm speaking all of my 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,800 S1: wife's love languages, but she's not speaking mine in return? 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,040 S2: Well, if you honestly, truly are speaking her love language, 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,160 S2: and if she genuinely feels your love, then you can 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,439 S2: make requests of her and you can say, honey, you 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,880 S2: know something I'd like for you to do? And you 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,239 S2: tell her something that's in keeping with your love language. 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,640 S2: And because she is feeling your love, she's more likely 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,360 S2: to do it, you see? Don't sit there simply hoping 10 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,839 S2: that sooner or later, she's just going to reach out 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,760 S2: and speak my language. No, it's all right to make 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:41,200 S2: requests of her. And so essentially, you're teaching her how 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,240 S2: to speak your love language by making specific requests. Chances 14 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,800 S2: are she's going to respond. 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,880 S3: Doctor Gary Chapman is the author of The Five Love Languages. 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,120 S3: For more answers, visit start mariawrites.com.
