Such a great article! Funny, however, that my first love language is physical touch and his is words of affirmation. We might be "backwards" according to most, but this is what it is. I have no problem giving him all of the words of affirmation he needs. I think it likely helps me to get my needs met as well. The words really matter. I love how you said we were married, but not dead, and that he should let her know if someone checks her out. That is really sweet and shows confidence on his part. Good stuff! Thanks!!
