Overview

Are you and your spouse speaking the same language? While love is a many splendored thing, it is sometimes a very confusing thing, too. And as people come in all varieties, shapes, and sizes, so do their choices of personal expressions of love. But more often than not, the giver and the receiver express love in two different ways. This can lead to misunderstanding, quarrels, and even divorce. Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service, Physical Touch, Dr. Gary Chapman identifies five basic languages of love and then guides couples towards a better understanding of their unique languages of love. Learn to speak and understand your mate’s love language, and in no time you will be able to effectively love and truly feel loved in return. Skillful communication is within your grasp!

The five love languages

Written by Dee on September 13th, 2007

I got the abridged version. I think this book was amazing. I tried the love languages with my fiance and I saw an immediate change in him. We just weren't speaking the right language. I even shared this with family and friends and it improved their relationships as well. I'm truly grateful to have purchased this book because it has saved my relationship and others. I think if you try the five specific languages depending on which is yours or spouses, Quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service,etc.You certainly won't regret it.

Gary Chapman breaks down why we sometimes fail to communicate with each other. He describes 5 "love languages" and why we need to know both our own love langhuage, and that of our spouse. It was insightful, and made a difference in my marriage.

Loved the Love Languages!

This is another book that should be required reading for married couples. My only complaint is that the audio recording seemed outdated, but the content is 5 stars. I ordered the book in print so I can review it again, with my highlighter (and husband:). As soon as I figured out what my husband's primary love language was, I began applying Dr. Chapman's suggestions, and the results were amazing!! My next goal is to teach my husband what MY primary love language is, and how he can apply it. This book is personal library keeper.

Great book. It makes a lot of sense out of relationship struggles previously impossible to understand. Using the principles in this book has completely changed my attitude toward my husband in a positive way and I belive it will revive my marriage.

Wonderful read

Amazingly simple but powerful paradigm to view your relationship through. Even if you don't feel like you speak one of these languages, you may be surprised to find your spouse does.

I found that the concepts and advice in this book are practical and make a lot of sense; definitely something that spouse and I can use to make our marriage stronger and emotionally healthier. I recommend to all married couples who feel there's room to improve their relationships.

Very good book/concept. Everyone should read this before getting married; If you are already married you'll benefit from this book too. My husband and I both listened to it and gleaned a lot from it. Doing what you think your spouse wants is not always what they need.

This is a great book for people in all stages of relationships and those who are parents. The basics of the book are speaking to relationships - marriage in particular but toward the end he talks about your children and their love languages. That was quite revealing! Great book - quick read!

Simplified view but powerful. Good ideas and useful for seeing things from your partners point of view.

Ways to communicate

This was a quick read. The audio was clean, clear and the reader's voice was pleasant. The points came across very well due to great use of his examples of each language. I gave a lot of credit to the author for recognizing that not all people fit into on category. Not a must read, however it certainly won't hurt to hear a different perspective on communicating with your mate.
