Living the 5 Love Languages {Quality Time}

Welcome to day 4 of my new series -- we are talking about each of the 5 love languages as defined by Gary Chapman in his book, The Five Love Languages. If you haven't read it you definitely should, but please join us even if you haven't! You can find a quiz to find out your own love language on their website as well as join a challenge that starts this week to help you better show love to your spouse!
