Phyllis and Julie Season 1 Episode 26

Hello So Deep Peeps! 
Welcome to That’s So Deep.  This is the podcast where we try to root out loneliness one conversation at a time. Today we are talking about Love Languages: How to Love Our People by Speaking Their Language  (based on The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lastsby Dr. Gary Chapman).

Some deep things we cover:

  1. What are the 5 Love Languages?  I’m glad you asked! 1) Acts of Service 2) Words of Affirmation 3) Gifts 4) Quality Time 5) Touch
  2. Phyllis and Julie Take the Love Languages Quiz: Find out the results!
  3. Are We Monolingual or Multilingual?  Can we speak more than one love language?  And do our love languages change depending on who we spend time with?
  4. Ruling Out Love Languages: Identify which ones you can live without and the last one standing is probably your primary love language.
  5. We Give Love the Way We Receive Love: How can we translate those love languages so we can feel loved and how can we love others the way they would like to be loved?
  6. Showing Love Sometimes Means Cleaning Up Cat Vomit: If your loved one’s love language is acts of service, sometimes you need to suck it up and do the gross things that they can’t quite tolerate. 
  7. A Cultural Aspect: Phyllis didn’t hear the words “I love you” growing up because it was not a part of her culture.  
  8. The “Frommers”: Learn what this term means in Phyllis’ family and hear more about her kids’ love languages.
  9. Have You Filled a Bucket Today? A children's book about what it means to love and be kind.

Take-aways:

  1. Write down a few memories of a time you felt really loved by a loved one.  What category of love language does it fall into?  Chances are, this is one of your primary love languages.
  2. Take the Love Languages quiz here: The Love Language™ Quiz and then have a conversation about it with a loved one.  What would it look like to learn each other's love languages?
