I have never read the book about the different love languages, but I am pretty sure they did not include my husband's. It's ironing. Yup. You read it right. My husband's love language is ironing. When I iron his clothes for him, it just somehow screams to him "I love you Alan". It just touches him. Not sure why, but I have known it for a long time now.
It might not seem so strange to you, except that I am a TERRIBLE ironer. I am not exaggerating or just being humble. Most of the items that I iron, look very similar to how they looked before I ironed them. With my kids it is a big joke how badly I iron. But, to Alan it means that I love him. So, I iron for him (I have not always, but presently have the ironing program up and running:-). And, he wears what I ironed. Wrinkled and creased in wrong places. Alan is a great ironer. When he is away on business, he irons his own clothes and he is fine doing that. However, when he is home, it just means a lot to him that I iron them. I guess as long as he is happy to wear his wrinkled/ironed clothes, I will be happy to iron them for him:-)
