Product Description
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
Amazon.com Review
Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice. How do you discover your spouses and your own love language? Chapmans short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage. Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like hoping the feelings of affection will follow later a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort. "Love is a choice," says Chapman. "And either partner can start the process today." --Cindy Crosby. This text refers to the Amazon.com Exclusive Journal & Paperback Book Set.

This book was recommended to me by a counselor. I/we ( my husband and I) found it to be enlightening. We passed it on to others who also enjoyed the book. Glad I purchased it!

I borrowed this book from a friend, and then bought two copies to pass on, one for a wedding gift, and one for a struggling couple.
This book is for those who have had failed relationships in the past, are struggling in a current relationship, or just looking to get closer to your spouse. The book is very helpful in recognizing what is important to each spouse and how to give each spouse what they need to feel loved. There is a quiz at the end that prioritizes the five love languages for each spouse. It is helpful to recognize which expressions of love will be most valuable to each spouse. One may prefer actual gifts, expressions of affection, or a simple act like making up the bed. It is really simple, but an eye opener to understand which forms of affection are most valued. My husband and I get along in general, and when we took the quiz we realized we are aligned on most of the 5 languages. Probably the "secret" to our success. I think it would be even more valuable for those struggling with love, because the book also contains exercises to try for a week, and then re-evaluate your relationship. Helpful book for growing closer. Each love language is fully described in a chapter in the book. It seems like common sense, but sometimes you just don't understand what the other person needs, and this book will help you "get it."

Buyer beware. I thought I was ordering just one copy but was charged for 4. Didn't realize until I received them in the mail.

This is the best relationship book for all ages. Knowing what love language you speak is very important to understanding how to communicate your needs. This is also, important when speaking a love language to your loved one and how to have a successful, healthy, happy relationship.
