A few years back I borrowed Gary Chapmans' book "The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate" from a friend. It impacted my life so much, even though I was single at the time and the book is aimed at married couples, that when I saw a book had come out for singles I bought it.
The reason this book will impact your life is because it not only explains how to improve all relationships, from family, to friends and co-workers, but also gives you a deeper understanding of your own behaviour within relationships.
Ever wondered why you feel so hurt by your friends actions towards you? Ever felt one or both of your parents didn't love you? Could you believe that it has to do with how you feel loved? There are five ways love can be expressed, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Gifts, Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch.
One of these expressions of love is your primary love language.
Figure out what your primary love language is and gain a greater understanding of yourself and your reactions. Work out the primary love language of people around you and see your relationships improve once you start expressing love in their primary love language.
This book will help you do just that. I know, because it worked for me.

(For those who aren't familiar with the term 'love languages' this is 'love' in its broadest sense of the word, not meaning romance necessarily!)
As with any book on the five love languages, this Singles Edition will help you identify what your love language is, understand why the actions of others do/don't satisfy your love needs, and understand what makes others feel loved. Its a life-enhancing concept to grasp and apply to all sorts of different relationships.
However, this 'Singles' edition strangely makes minimal effort to apply the love language idea to single people's lives: the examples/applications given are largely based on dating/married couple scenarios! It fails to explore how single's love needs can really be met in non-sexual relationships, or how they can best love to others to build fulfilling, deep friendships - both things I was hoping for as a single Christian man. Why the emphasis on romantic applications in a book for singles? Anyway, Its a great shame Chapman doesn't explore in this book the love and intimacy that it *should* be possible for a single Christians to experience (and offer others) within the church.
So, it doesn't merit the 'singles edition' tag - I wonder how different the examples/applications given in this Singles edition are to those in the other editions of 'The Love Languages'? It felt to me like the 'Singles' tag was slapped on as an afterthought. For all that, the explanation of the love language concept still makes it worth a read, even for single people...

Format:Paperback
Once again a Christian author who assumes that all singles want to be either married or in a dating relationship, rather than genuinely seeking to have more fulfilling friendships. Inserting a few sentences about singleness into the original book (aimed at married people) does not constitute a book aimed at singles. The author has misunderstood the concept. Whilst I agree that the basic premise of understanding love languages is helpful in any relationship, this is a disappointing and patronising effort at aiming a book at singles.
