I'd be interested to see how important the "acts of service" thing is to couples with and without kids (or to men and women, for that matter). I imagine division of labour becomes rather more pressing when there's more of it. And frankly, someone can spend all the quality time and give all the hugs in the world, but if they do none of the household chores, they're going to end up either with a lot of conflict or a lot of resentment.

Quality time and words of affirmation come out highest for me on this.

Re: the acts of service one, I think living together would be the biggest differentiating factor there. I've only lived with someone once for a short period of time, and in that case I did all the chores because he wasn't living there permanently and I decided it would annoy me less in light of that to just do everything than tell him to and have him not do it to my specification. So while I agree in the abstract re: what you're saying about household chores, myself I've never been in a position to develop a real appreciation for the person cooperating with me, even though I strongly suspect that given time + living together I would.
