Quotes About Emotional

Isolation is devastating to the human psyche.
~ Gary Chapman
Love is not our only emotional need. Psychologists have observed that among our basic needs are the need for security, self-worth, and significance. Love, however, interfaces with all of those. If I feel loved by my spouse, I can relax, knowing that my lover will do me no ill. I feel secure in her presence. I may face many uncertainties in my vocation. I may have enemies in other areas of my life, but with my spouse I feel secure.
~ Gary Chapman
Nothing works well if a child's love needs are not met. Only the child who feels genuinely loved and cared for can do her best. You may truly love your child, but unless she feels it—unless you speak the love language that communicates to her your love—she will not feel loved. Filling the

A supportive environment and attitude will help our children learn at home. Children are more emotional than cognitive—that is, they remember feelings more readily than they do facts. This means that your children remember how they felt in a particular situation much more easily than they recall the details of the event. For instance, a child listening to a story will remember exactly how she felt long after she forgets the lesson.

He ignores me all day long and then wants to jump in bed with me. I hate it." She is not a wife who hates sex; she is a wife desperately pleading for emotional love.
~ Gary Chapman
Babies who are held, stroked, and kissed develop a healthier emotional life than those who are left for long periods of time without physical contact.
~ Gary Chapman
The need for significance is the emotional force behind much of our behavior. Life is driven by the desire for success. We want our lives to count for something. We have our own idea of what it means to be significant, and we work hard to reach our goals. Feeling loved by a spouse enhances our sense of significance. We reason, If someone loves me, I must have significance.
~ Gary Chapman
Among those emotional needs, none is more basic than the need for love and affection, the need to sense that he or she belongs and is wanted.
~ Gary Chapman
During infancy, a child does not distinguish between milk and tenderness, between solid food and love. Without food, a child will starve. Without love, a child will starve emotionally and can become impaired for life. A great deal of research indicates that the emotional foundation of life is laid in the first eighteen months of life, particularly in the mother/child relationship. The "food" for future emotional health is physical touch, kind words, and tender care.
~ Gary Chapman
Child psychologists affirm that every child has certain basic emotional needs that must be met if he is to be emotionally stable. Among those emotional needs, none is more basic than the need for love and affection, the need to sense that he or she belongs and is wanted. With an adequate supply of affection, the child will likely develop into a responsible adult. Without that love, he or she will be emotionally and socially challenged.
~ Gary Chapman
Many workaholics also feel unloved. The message they received from their parents was not, "We love you," but rather, "We love you if … We love you if you make up your bed, put your dishes in the dishwasher, clean up your room, mow the grass, and make straight A's." Such conditional love sets a child up to become an adult workaholic.

~ Gary Chapman
La manipulación mediante la culpa («Si fueras un buen cónyuge, harías esto por mí»), no es un lenguaje del amor. La coerción mediante el miedo («Hazlo o lo lamentarás»), es algo ajeno al amor.
~ Gary Chapman
It's when we combine knowledge not only with passion, but with love, that we can have a great effect on others.
~ Gary Chapman
In interiorul fiecarui copil, exista un rezervor afectiv care de-abia asteapta sa fie umplut cu iubire. Atunci cand un copil se simte cu adevarat iubit, el se va dezvolta normal; dar cand rezervorul este gol, copilul se va comporta in mod nedorit. In mare masura, acest comportament necuviincios este motivat de dorinta arzatoare de a umple rezervorul iubirii.
~ Gary Chapman
The place to begin is by getting in touch with his feelings, becoming aware that he is an emotional creature in spite of the fact that he has denied that part of his life.

Entering someone else's world is sometimes awkward, but the results can be eternal. — Sharron K. Cosby —
~ Gary Chapman
Los psicólogos han llegado a la conclusión de que la necesidad de sentirse amado es una necesidad emocional primaria del ser humano. Por amor, escalaremos montañas, cruzaremos mares, atravesaremos las arenas del desierto y soportaremos adversidades inenarrables. Sin amor, las montañas se vuelven difíciles de escalar, los mares son imposibles de cruzar, los desiertos son insoportables y las dificultades son inmensas en la vida.

I decided to do an experiment. I would take as my hypothesis that if Ann could learn her husband's primary love language and speak it for a period of time so that his emotional need for love was met, eventually he would reciprocate and begin to express love to her. I wondered, Would it work?
~ Gary Chapman
Follow this pattern of asking for feedback once a month for the entire six months. Whenever Glenn gives you the first positive response, you will know that your efforts are getting through to him emotionally. One week after you receive the first positive feedback, I want you to make a request of Glenn—something that you would like him to do, something in keeping with your primary love language.

Could it be that deep inside hurting couples exists an invisible "emotional love tank" with its gauge on empty? Could the misbehavior, withdrawal, harsh words, and critical spirit occur because of that empty tank?
