I was at my redheaded friend Catherine C’s house, chatting with one of her friends, and heard about this theory that there are four ways of showing affection. Everyone has a favorite way of showing and receiving affection, and a least favorite way. If your intended has a favorite way of showing affection that happens to be your least favorite way, then anticipate … friction.
So the four ways are: Touching, Talking, Spending Time, Buying Gifts.
Gary likes showing affection in this order (from most favorite to least favorite):
Buying Gifts, Spending Time, Talking, Touching
I like getting affection in this order (most to least favorite):
Touching, Spending Time, Talking, Getting Gifts
The biggest friction comes up when he tries to buy gifts. Now, I don’t want to hear about what a fool I am because I don’t like it when he buys me gifts. You may say Like this:

The real issue is having no expectations of your spouse and leading such an interesting life that he begs to participate. Occasionaly permit him to.
Hmm. Well, I’m going walking with Marcia tomorrow and he begged to come along and I refused.
