Intimacy, Friendship and Love

Friday, December 29th, 2006

Attraction of romantic love is that it can eclipse every other emotion and transport us to levels of bliss we’ve never felt before.

"Love is often an issue of control and  counter-control, but nothing could be more unlike friendship. A condition of friendship is the letting go of power over another. As soon as a friend attempts to control a friend, the friendship is finished. Abuse of power can end not only traditional friendships but also love relationships, which should have a true friendship at its center."

"Intimacy does not need or depend on sex. Couples locked in suffocating relationships in which a controlling jealousy hides as "caring". When a relationship is strong, we can avoid acting on feelings of love that, admittedly, can be generated by intimacy. Intimacy is a metaphor for limitless verbal and nonverbal communication that transpire between 2 people. Gazing into each other’s eyes, holding hands, lying together, massaging each other, cooking fav food together or simply sensing each other’s presence in a crowded room are a few of the many non-verbal intimacies that people exchange. Often, these gestures communicate more than any words can."

The Holiday

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

juz a quick entry, just watched the holiday..nice movie and heart warming..though some may find it a tag too long and wishy washy towards the end..and its a 2hr+ abit movie..

however personally i did not feel the drag at all..after some pondering, i guess it is becos i was rather engrossed with the dialogues which i find it easy to relate. dialogues between the two couples caught my attention the most and after focusing on their dialogues, i will spend the next few moments relating to the words said and felt my heart wrenching and twitching abit..and before i knew it, the next heart wrenching moment is here again..guess tats why i did not felt the drag at all

so this movie touch me mainly bcos i feel tat i can relate to the situations that they are being put into and somehow i can feel their sadness and dilemma at times..

Love Languages Quiz

A love test that i took for fun..is it true?? :)

Score    Love Language

   7       Words of Affirmation

   9        Quality Time

   1        Receiving of Gifts

   4        Acts of Service

   9        Physical Touch

 

 

How to interpret your Profile Score:

 

Your highest score indicates your primary love language.  Your second highest score indicates your secondary love
language.   If two scores are identical, you are bilingual (you have two primary love languages).  If the scores of your primary and your secondary language are close (for example, 10 & 9 respectfully), it indicates both are important to you.  Whatever a significant other does to express love in either of these languages will get emotional points with you. The highest possible score for any language is 12.

 

Having a clear picture of your primary & secondary love languages will explain much of your past behavior  Think back over the past and ask yourself "What have I most often requested from significant others?"  Chances are your answer will lie within the scope of your primary & secondary love languages.  You have been requesting that which would meet your deepest need for emotional love.
