I'm an INFP. I'm pretty good at it. This is my only qualification for writing an INFP blog.

Thank goodness for the low barriers to self-publication.

As a dayjob, I work in web development because no one will pay me to be professional dilettante. By night, I use my superpowers to wage unending war against writer's block and procrastination.

The Five Love Languages

I've been married 15 years and I consider this book instrumental in helping my wife and I build and maintain our relationship.

The book explains that there are five love languages and that each one of us has a language that makes us feel loved. The problem is that we assume that the language that makes us feel loved is the same language that others feel loved.

For example, a husband with Acts of Service as his primary love language would fix things around house to show his wife he loved her. However, if the wife�s primary love language is Receiving Gifts, she�s wondering why he�s working on the house all time when all she wants from him is a little note or a flower or some small token that shows he loves her. She gives him little notes and he�s wondering she doesn�t appreciate all the work he does.

The Five Love Languages says that people feel loved in their language and not ours.
