Product Description

This can lead to misunderstanding, quarrels, and even divorce. Quality Time Words of Affirmation Gifts Acts of Service Physical TouchDr. Gary Chapman identifies five basic languages of love and then guides couples towards a better understanding of their unique languages of love.

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 spouse’s – and your own – love language? Chapman’s 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.

Loving your mate so they'll hear - Reviewed on 2009-07-01

Thought this book was very very helpful in understanding what spoke love to my then new wife. I am a physical touch and words of affirmation kind of guy and of course that was what I thought my wife needed when what really spoke love to her was quality time. Throughout my marriage I've been able to avoid pitfalls knowing how to love her best and this book gave us the understanding we needed to love each other better.

I will admit that I am a man and that the thought of read a book about love language was not at the top of my list of things to do. Looking for answers to a marriage in stress I agreed to read the book after being prompted by a person I respected. Now the first 9 tenth of the book were interesting but It was not until I had nearly finished that the light bulb became illuminated. I will never look at relationships the same way again. It all makes sense now. I would go as far as to say, no one should be granted a marriage license until they read this book. I will go on step further, couples that have read this book and are considering starting a family should read the book a second time to prepare themselves for the new roll they will lead as parents.

This book is awesome and very helpful. Every couple should read this. It will make a difference in your marriage and how you treat your partner. Our Sunday school class studied this all the way through. Good for all churches.

This book is excellent. I had taken it out from the library and thought it so informative that I wanted my own copy, which is why I purchased it from Amazon.com. Dr. Chapman is very insightful with his descriptions of people's love languages - words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Additionally, the examples he shares for each type are easily identifiable and understood. The book a great tool for improving both intimate and casual relationships. Furthermore, it is a "good read" that holds one's attention.
It's really a nice book for the communication in intimate relationship - Reviewed on 2009-06-24

This is a very easy-reading book. The five love languages mentioned in this book will not only work well on the communication in romantic relationship but also in friendship. The two tests for husband and wife at the end of this book will help you find out your partner's and your own love languages. Try to communicate with your partner in her/his love language and see the improvement of your relationship. I strongly recommend this book!
