A gift is something that you can hold in your hand and say, “Look, he was thinking of me,” or “She remembered me.” You must be thinking of someone to give a gift. The gift itself is a symbol of that thought. It doesn’t matter if it costs money.
Gifts need not too expensive, nor must they be given weekly. But for some individuals, their worth has nothing to do with monetary value and everything to do with love.
Within every language, there are many dialects. Here below you will find just a few but in the end, you need to understand your spouse’s dialect.
Purchased Gifts
Anything you can imagine, how much it costs is less important than the thought that goes with it. If a millionaire gives only one-dollar gifts regularly, the spouse may question whether that is an expression of love, but when family finances are limited, a one-dollar gift may speak a million dollars worth of love.
Gifts you find
For example a flower from the yard or side of the road, a shell from the beach, a special stick etc. Anything that you add meaning to.
The Gift of Self
There is an intangible gift that sometimes speaks more loudly than a gift that can be held in one’s hand. This is the gift of self or the gift of presence. Being there when your spouse needs you speaks loudly to the one whose primary love language is receiving gifts.
