I love the concept of 5 love languages. It's a really helpful tool to categorise yourself into and it helps you understand your emotional needs more. It explains why certain words or actions or lack of either can hurt you and if not dealt with harber resentment towards your partner or loved ones.
Though I personally believe all people need all 5 love languages just in varying degrees depending on each person's leanings.
Absolutely loved this book and I love the constant use of making lists of things you want to be done or said in order for you to feel loved. I'll definitely be implementing that into my life so I can better love the people in my life.

Ignored the religious junk (there's not much), but very interesting!

My colleagues were talking about this book for a long time. Finally I was able to lay my hands on it.
Book is easy to read, and very easy to understand. Although I have no partner, it helped me understand what mistakes I've made previously. Hope that I will be able to apply lessons when time comes.
Also, I now better understand how to make my relatives happier, not only hypothetical partner.

I do believe in the philosophy of "Love Languages", and I think that it is helpful for romantic partners to recognize their love language and work together with their partner to ensure that their affection is being communicated and received. However, I couldn't help but notice that this book was heavily religious. I have no problem with writers being open about their religious beliefs, but I would prefer a more scientific approach to topics related to attraction and human behavior.

I hear about the 5 Love Languages all the time, so I figured I would read the source material. I quickly found out why this isn’t common for the 5 Love Languages. It’s pretty simple: there are 5 love languages, and each person has a primary language. If you want to make that person feel loved, speak that language to them! In other words, what makes one person feel loved, won’t mean anything for another. See? That’s it. I wish I was joking. While very helpful advice, and something which is always good to reflect on, I did not need a whole book on it.
The part which was the most difficult to read were the examples. The book is chock full of them. The issue? In every one, the author plays “love doctor”. Some “young person” comes to the author with some relationship issue, and the author always has the perfect idea to help. A couple months later the young person returns to the author, and poof the issue is fixed. In short, the author always places themselves in the best light. It comes off as braggy, and self-centered. I give the author the benefit of the doubt, but perhaps selling so many copies can go to one’s head

I really like this book! I think love languages, while not perfect, are a good place to start when understanding how our loved ones communicate with us (and how we should communicate with them). Helpful for real life.
