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!

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.

This is better than a marriage counselor, because each partner is able to reason in their own head what love langague they are and what their partner is. This is really a great book

This was a quick read, but very insightful.

Great book! I read it all in one sitting. I think it is another way to look at relationships and very well put. I gave it to my boyfriend to read as well. If you are looking for a different way to connect with your partner, I highly recommend it.

Good book to help with partners understanding each other

No matter what stage of a relationship you are in this book is for you. Couples can read it together and it opens the door to talk about what you need to feel loved.

This book was recommended to me years ago and I wish if I had read it early. Very insightful and an easy read.

This book is an excellent resource for any couple no matter what stage your marriage is in or how many years you've been married. I highly recommend it.

A must read for anyone looking to have lifelong fulfilling relationships. The principles in this book apply not only with your spouse, but also with friends, children, relatives... It really is a great book!

You know.. I didn't think anything would help our marriage, short of Father in Heaven coming down and knocking some sense into my husband. (I'm still working on that too. lol) It was a little tough to cram my hurt BUT I tried this from my ended.. I started doing little notes of what made me feel good and why; when he did them. And trying to figure out what was his "languages." It's WAS surprising that he's responded. ReAlLY. He responded! I told him if he was wondering what I was up too that he could "LISTEN" to the audio download that I had put on the Ipod. I think he did because my copy of the book hasn't moved. It's been a wonderful two weeks since I started this "challenge" and it's gotten easier to try to love him again. I now think there might be a chance to save our marriage because I no longer feel like I'm the only one trying to make things work.
I believe it helped me listening to the audio book and reading both, getting it in both sides of the brain so to speak. I know my Challenges aren't through but now I have hope to feed the willingness to TRY.

This is an amazing book. I just finished reading it and was so impressed with how the author has such a great approach to figuring out ways to make any marriage phenomenal. This book is great at helping a person figure out what they may be doing wrong and not "filling their spouses love tank". It also helps you figure out why you may not be feeling loved by your spouse due to speaking different love languages. I am now anxious to read other books by this author.
