Book Description

Publication Date: 1 Feb 2010

Marriage should be based on love, right? But does it seem as though you and your spouse are speaking two different languages? New York Times bestselling author Dr. Gary Chapman guides couples in identifying, understanding, and speaking their spouse’s primary love language—quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, or physical touch.

By learning the five love languages, you and your spouse will discover your unique love languages and learn practical steps in truly loving each other. Chapters are categorized by love language for easy reference, and each one ends with specific, simple steps to express a specific language to your spouse and guide your marriage in the right direction. A newly designed love languages assessment will help you understand and strengthen your relationship. You can build a lasting, loving marriage together.

Gary Chapman hosts a nationally syndicated daily radio program called A Love Language Minute that can be heard on more than 150 radio stations as well as the weekly syndicated program Building Relationships with Gary Chapman, which can both be heard on fivelovelanguages.com.

The Five Love Languages is a consistent new York Times bestseller - with over 5 million copies sold and translated into 38 languages.  This book is a sales phenomenon, with each year outselling the prior for 16 years running!

Includes a promotional code to gain exclusive online access to the new comprehensive love languages assessment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep the love alive! 17 Mar 2013
By BritGroovyChic
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow! I read this little marvel with great interest and found it fascinating. Quite simply Gary explains that we all have primary and secondary languages of love. We show our love for people in many ways, but we each have a language of love which is demonstrated more frequently than others. More often than not, the language of love we display the most, is also the one which makes us feel loved and secure when we are in receipt of it. In order to keep a loving relationship alive after the honeymoon period subsides, we need to match our partner's primary and secondary languages. We each have a 'love tank' which is empty when relationships fail - we don't feel loved. In order to fill it again, our partner needs to display our language of love to us, and ensure they are consistently doing so.

The five languages of love are: Words of affirmation (expressing love verbally, giving praise, complimenting, etc.), receiving gifts, quality time, acts of service (doing things to please), physical touch (whether it be sex or just hugs, cuddles, a reassuring touch of the arm, etc.).

Gary uses case studies from his long career in marriage counselling to evidence how effective this method of staying together and loving forever actually is. It is reassuring to see that even relationships which would otherwise be considered not worth pursuing and past the point of return, can effectively be rescued and restored to a greater and more rewarding level of love than you could ever imagine.

I have learnt what my primary and secondary languages of love are and have also figured out my partner's. It has really opened my eyes.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing read 10 Nov 2011
By robertson229
Format:Paperback
I stumbled across this book at a difficult time in my marriage and it literally changed my life....understanding my Husband's love language and how it differed from mine allowed me to show him in the way he needed how much he meant to me and in return he has made a real effort to learn my love language too. A must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars what a read! 26 Feb 2012
By Cutekelechi
Format:Paperback
This book is fantastic, and I would thoroughly recommend it to any of my friends (not just the ones in relationships). It is a great book for anybody to read in order to gain an understanding of an aspect of themselves.
I read it in a few hours, it was that good. Gary Chapman's advice is priceless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Common sense but so effective 23 Sep 2011
By Peta
Format:Paperback
I love this book. My husband thinks it's a bit too obvious and that "it's common sense" but I think that it gives a really good understanding of the basic differences between communication styles. Just being aware of these differences allows you to make simple adjustments in your communciations / making allowances for others which are incredibly effective. I have recommended this book to all of my friends and would recommend it to anyone who's looking to understand their loved one better and make them feel more loved.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very helpful book 21 Nov 2011
By W. A. Morgan
Format:Paperback
I heard about this book from a relative. I bought it on their recommendation and because I am preparing for marriage, and I read and discussed it together with my fiancee. We both found it very sound in its advice and commentary, and it helped us to discuss our feelings and expectations about the way we relate to each other now and how we hope to relate to each other and communicate our love for one another in the future.

I think this book would be helpful for people who are married as well as those who are contemplating or preparing for marriage. It is not explicitly a "Christian" book, and could be read by most people, but is backgrounded in the Christian world-view which assumes, for example, that marriage is a life-long commitment that necessarily involves sacrifice. I think you should not regard Dr Chapman's ideas as a magic formula for successful marriage, and I think that not every marital difficulty can be analysed in terms of his Love Language formula - nevertheless it does help us to understand how we can communicate our love to a partner within a serious relationship in which we are seeking the best interests of the other person, and I would particularly recommend it as helpful discussion material to those who are dating, as part of the process of getting to know each other, or those who are engaged, as part of the process of preparing for lifelong commitment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very thought-provoking and interesting book 4 Dec 2012
By Flo Nightingale
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book as a femaile in a serious relationship. I am not yet married to my boyfriend but I hope to be, and I wanted a better understanding of why we were disagreeing/ not understanding certain things about eachother. Realising that we speak different 'Love languages' was truly refreshing. The book has enabled me to look at our relationship totally differently and although I still do not know what my boyfriends love language is yet (tho it is not the same as mine), I will endevour to find out!! A Brilliant read!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous 26 July 2012
By kay
Format:Kindle Edition
I found this book easy to read, very resourcefull, something you can come back to again and again over the years. I felt it was a really practical book that made me understand there were things I COULD DO to improve my marriage. It even works well for non christians too, so I was able to share it with my non-believeing friends which was really nice as blessings are not just for those who already know our LORD, but those known to our LORD too. Thank you!!
