It's a fact--people don't show love in the same ways. Gary Chapman breaks it down into 5 difference categories of ways to show love, and then you figure out what ones you display most of. (I love people doing things for me and bringing me little things like a cupcake or a bookmark for no reason at all--and I love doing it to people too!)

I liked the concept of this book, but I ended up skimming most of it since I’m not a big fan of bible quotes and Christian references. Otherwise it had some interesting info.

If you've read the original [b:The 5 Love Languages|17574819|The 5 Love Languages/The 5 Love Languages Men's Edition/The 5 Love Languages of Teenagers/The 5 Love Languages of Children|Gary Chapman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1386615611l/17574819._SY75_.jpg|24514985] I'm not sure if this is really that much more helpful considering you can apply the same teachings to all of your relationships. That being said, the examples given and the test phrasing is definitely geared more towards all relationships in your life which may be the difference.
That also being said, I think the original book went into more detail regarding the love languages and I found that more helpful. I'd still recommend the original over this one.

A little too preachy, but interesting insights to the different ways we communicate love.

Very useful information for all types of relationships. I had my adult children and their friends take the test at the back of the book to get a better idea of how I might be able to communicate with them. Enlightening!

I liked this version better than the original. It not only has good advice for singles, but also has a lot of more general advice that's very useful.

Okay, this book is awesome. I've known about the love languages for years, but never read any of the books. This book was helpful I'm understanding them on a deeper level.
A few things that I especially liked:
-The author is religious and shares how his beliefs connect to the different love languages. I didn't feel like it was pushy or overwhelming at all. But as a Christian, I loved his insight. It really helped me to connect the concepts on a deeper level.
-I loved that the author discussed abusive relationships. It's definitely something that needs to be addressed. And I feel like he addressed it in a very respectful and constructive way.
-I loved the questions that were presented for the reader. (Warning: If you're anything like me, this may bring up some difficult memories for you and leave you feeling a little bit crazy. But, I mean, it was good. It helped me realize that there things that need to be addressed.)
I would recommend this book. I think I'll probably read this again sometime soon.

Honestly, too much God, too preachy for my taste.
