Interestingly enough, DH and I had just started to realize that we werent speaking the right languages with each other and had started to change accordingly. What this book did most of me, aside from reinforcing behaviors that I had recently started, was make me realize that our child speaks a language that neither of us is comfortable with and we seriously need to work on that.
This is a great book to keep forever, but I could not in good consious keep it to myself. This information NEEDS to be shared.

What speaks volumes to you may be meaningless to your spouse/significant other. But here, at last, is the key to understanding each other's unique needs. Apply the right principles, learn the right language,and soon you'll know the profound satisfaction and joy of being able to express your love and feeling truly loved in return.

Very interesting and thought provoking, also challenging but quite helpful in re-framing how we view our marriage and our mate.

I discovered this book back in 2001, and it has been life-changing. So life-changing in fact, that I have bought and given a copy of this book to many people in my life. It is such a simple concept, and a very fast read, but very powerful. You can't look at relationships the same way after this book.

My husband and I read this book as part of our premarital counseling. We both really loked it, and felt we were able to relate better to each other after reading it. I would recommend it to anyone in a relationship of any kind!

A unique way to look at the communication of relationships in 5 categories that are simple to remember and apply. I enjoyed this quick read with the thought-provoking comprehensive study guide that was included.

Interesting concepts in this book; very popular among Christian circles, but there is not much biblical reference within the book itself

Bestseller. Relationships are the most complicated and most important part of a person's life. Truly connecting with a loved one comes down to one simple fact: You need to know and speak his or her love language. A love language is the way we express our devotion and commitment, and it can be learned or changed to touch the heart of our partner. Dr. Gary Chapman, a pastor and marriage counselor for over thirty years, has been able to help millions understand how to effectively express and receive love.

Highly recommended -- should be required reading for anyone in a commited relationship, engaged or married. Helps you to express your love in ways your spouse will recognize and accept.
