I read this book while dating the man who would become my husband. It was a wonderful Christian relationship resource! Dr. Chapman shares so many stories of couples he has spoken with that validated my feelings. Just when I felt there must be something wrong with me I found a book that put a name to the real problem. People really do speak different love languages and to "feel loved" I need to be spoken to in my language. This book was a great help to my dating experience and my marriage.

This book does not give anything which you cannot find online about the five love languages.

I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is in a committed relationship. The concept of people speaking different love languages was something that I had not heard of before, but I completely agree with! My love language is acts of service and I would rather my boyfriend take out the trash once a week without being asked than to tell my daily that I'm beautiful. I used to joke that I was crazy, but now I know I just speak a different love language than he does. I hope I can get him to read it and confirm which love language is his (I think it's quality time but it might be physical touch (non-sexual)). Again, I HIGHLY recommend this book for ALL couples, even if you have a great relationship.

I wish I had read this book many years ago. Before I ever even had a boyfriend it would have helped me in dealing with my family just because of this section on page 98:

"No person should ever be a doormat...Allowing oneself to be used or manipulated by another is not an act of love. It is, in fact, an act of treason. You are allowing him or her to develop inhumane habits. Love says, "I love you too much to let you treat me this way. It is not good for you or me." "

I'm going to say that the next time they ask why I never visit!

This book was much better than I anticipated... not being in a significant romantic relationship currently, I wasn't sure how much it would speak to me... however I agree with the friend who lent it to me- these languages can really be applied to any relationship one has, including good friendships & familial relationships. I highly recommend it, whether your relationships are currently strong & solid or if they could use some work.

Great book. Has good examples to help us see what we are doing. I think it is great to be aware of the effect of what we are doing. But I can't figure out my love language yet.

Loved this book. Helped me understand that i was trying to love my husband by my love language and not his. Has helped us a lot to realize what the other person needs to feel more loved.
