 The Encompass Outreach Group is going through a blog series on the 5 Love Languages! Over the next few weeks we will be focusing on different love languages, the impact they have on our lives, and how we can fill others' "love tanks!" By: Lavern Nissley There is an all too familiar Physical Touch occurrence of something Ronda, my wife, does in our bedroom that usually takes my breath away. It begins with my awareness that she is slowly moving in my direction. Suddenly, her cold feet make contact with me, and I experience an "ice bucket challenge" moment. She knows that my love language is Physical Touch but doesn't seem to understand "not THAT kind of touch!"

By Ronda Nissley My husband says it’s difficult being married to someone whose love language is Acts of Service. That may be true, but I propose that it’s always a challenge to learn any language that’s not our native language. The best way to learn any language is to learn from one who has that language.

 The Encompass Outreach Group is starting a blog series on the 5 Love Languages! Over the next few weeks we will be focusing on different love languages, the impact they have on our lives, and how we can fill others' "love tanks!" By Tessa Stump My love language is Words of Affirmation. I need to hear that I am loved, doing a good job, and wanted. I have learned to recognize that people love me in lots of different ways. But I have to say, there is something special about someone speaking my language!
If you know someone who’s love language is Words of Affirmation, I hope one of these 3 ways will inspire you to speak their language!  By Jenny Hamilton Maintaining a lifestyle of eating healthy food and exercising regularly we all know is good for us. However, it probably ranks #1 as the most common daily battle we regularly wage with the “easy to say, hard to do” things in life. We make excuses constantly for why we didn’t stick with our workout plans or diets. We do the same when tending to our relationships. Healthy relationships are like gold! They are what keep us going--mentally, emotionally and even physically. Yet often, to our own detriment, we believe things that are not true -- and we make excuses. Have you ever told yourself this?
