Gifting 101 for the Non-Gifter
by Dr. Gary Chapman
A wife complains, "My husband never gives me gifts."
His reply? "I'm not a gift giver. I didn't receive many gifts growing up. I never learned how to select gifts. It just doesn't come naturally for me."
Congratulations, you have just made the first discovery in becoming a great lover.
You and your spouse speak different love languages. Now that you have made that discovery get on with the business of learning your second language.
Where do you begin? Make a list of all the gifts your spouse has expressed excitement about receiving through the years. The list will give you an idea of the kind of gifts your spouse likes.
Also, listen to those casual comments such as, "I'd like to have one of those." Write it down so you don't forget.
Then recruit family members to help you. Your sister may be the perfect person to help you select a gift for your wife. Or your brother may know exactly what to give your husband.
You're on the road to learning the art of gift giving.
