Love Style

Your Love Style is Agape

You are a caring, kind, and selfless partner. Unsurprisingly, your love style is the most rare. You are willing to sacrifice your world for your sweetie. Except it doesn't really feel like sacrifice to you. For you, nothing feels better than giving to the one you love.

What's" Your Love Style?

This isn't exactly the first posting I thought I'd have, but I just did it on another friend's site, there was a link, tested my new skills and ta da! I feel so savvy now. Kind of fun little quiz that takes me back to Teen magazine quizzes, they were fun then and fun now too! Let me first assure you that I don't think you can really learn much from a 6 question multiple question love quiz, but it did make me think. With that in mind, here's my analysis:

I found "my style" a bit surprising I have to say, I don't consider myself so selfless in love. I've been protective of my feelings in most relationships I'd have to say and at the first sign of disinterest, I move away, and fast. I think this style really fits my two sisters ___ and ___ (can you guess?). Josh jokes that they're incredibly loyal--bad for dating, great for marriage! When reading it I wondered if it was fitting. I had to agree that sure I've made some sacrifices for marriage and to be with the one I love forever--who hasn't?

I'm a pretty passionate and stubborn person by nature so more than anything I've had to sacrifice some of that, and unlike the desciption, it's felt like sacrifice--or rather a lot of self control. Like I said, when things turn south in a relationship, my instinct is to bolt and protect myself, which doesn't really fly when a challenge comes up in marriage, so that's been an exercise in discipline and sacrifice I suppose. I've had some dreams that I've willingly sacrificed, but I don't think they've been so much for the One I love but the ones I've birthed (and they have been worth it). And if I have sacrificed things (come to think of it, probably haven't really sacrificed any "dreams"), he has too. Again, I don't think this is so strange and it's what I always expected in a marriage.

That being said, I married the best person possible for my personality. Josh has encouraged me from the very beginning to do whatever I'd like with my life and he would support me from working to kids, and he has stayed true to that. He's incredibly patient with my crazy whimsical ideas that come a dime a dozen and listens as though each one might pan out and supports me in them. He always says he just wants me to be happy and I can take whatever route that might be to get/stay there, and he means it. I couldn't have a more perfect fit! Knowing he'll let me do whatever I want in life and will be by my side gives me great security and lends me to want to sacrifice some of my wants/wishes to support some of his (and now our daughters).

Question: If married, have you sacrificied dreams for your spouse and if so, are they what you expected? If you're not married, do you plan on it?
