Love Language - Touchpoints of Love
It is both scriptural and poetic to say love is sacrificial, kind, patient, long-suffering, keeps no track of wrong, does not boast, is not rude and thinks the best. But in truth, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 speaks to the moral qualities of love, which flow from the character of God. Love serves to validate a relationship by communicating appreciation and affirmation. When we are on the receiving side of these two actions, we are able to measure the value of love directed toward us, as well as the value of the relationship.
People feel appreciated and affirmed through acts of kindness, because acts of kindness validate love. Kindness is life-giving. Patience and long-suffering validate love; or when someone acts sacrificially towards you, their actions validate a life-giving message that brings value to your relationship. When these attributes are absent, the ability to validate the relationship is often missing; and when this is lacking, the depth of any relational connection will often be in question. Husbands, wives, and children all have different primary “touchpoints” of love—that is, points of emotional attraction. A touchpoint is like an emotional portal to the soul. It is an open channel that allows the sensation of love to pass directly to the inner person. It becomes the primary point of connection, in which the meaning of love might be affirmed or misunderstood.
