Summary: A Marriage Saver!
Review: I honestly attribute the saving of my marriage to this book (placed into my hands at a time when I was humble enough to heed it's wisdom). The tragedy of many relationships today is that they fall apart not for the lack of love, but for the lack of understanding of how to express the love we feel to our mate. Ignorance of the five love languages is really devastating, as I can attest. However, since learning that I should be focusing my efforts to love my spouse in one specific area (in her case quality time is her love language) my marriage has truly taken a 180° turn from the brink of divorce to marital bliss (okay, not completely!).This is a valuable lesson for all to learn and to incorporate into their marital relationships. By the way, recognize that your children have love languages, also, and we must learn each one's love language so that they too will feel loved and honored and cherished.

Summary: A MUST HAVE FOR ALL COUPLES
Review: This is by far the best book ever written to help couples communicate their love for one another. It is interesting reading (not that clinical language). I started reading it and couldn't put it down. The ideas it presents are the most common sense ideas that we just sometimes overlook. This book makes a GREAT wedding gift!

Summary: Miracle Cure for Marriages
Review: Gary Chapman's theory of the five love languages is as follows: each of us has a "love tank" that needs to be filled. If our love tanks are full, we are happy, fulfilled, and have a positive view of our marriages/spouses. If our love tanks are not full, we feel empty, unhappy, and have a less positive view of our marriages and spouses. Each of us has a primary "language" of love, which we both speak when we give love, and in which we expect to receive love. The five languages are: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Gift Giving, and Physical Touch. The theory behind these five love languages is, in order to completely fill your spouse's love tank, you need to figure out which language they respond to most, and then begin expressing love to them in that way, even if it isn't your natural inclination to express love that way. When you do this, they will automatically feel much more loved, and they will reciprocate, thus, your marriage will stay much more fulfilling, and you will be able to share love much more effectively. Chapman's theory has been proven by hundreds of couples to be a valid one, and the book almost reads like a "Get Rich Quick" pamphlet for Love. However, according to Chapman (and all the positive reviews for this book), this theory really works, and can "radically change your marriage." Five stars!

Summary: This is a perfect wedding gift!
Review: Shortly after my husband and I were married, a friend recommended this book as a solution to some of the trials my husband and I encountered during our first year of marriage. I reluctantly read it, not realizing how much it would change my marriage! We were both surprised by the results! My husband and I have since decided this would become a standard wedding gift in hopes that others we know may have the same opportunity to improve their marriage as we had. This is a fantastic book!

Summary: The Divorce Solution!
Review: We use the Love Language book as part of pre-marital counseling we offer to people at our church. I wish every engaged or married person would read and apply Love Languages. I believe divorce would all but disappear if people understood this concept.

Summary: Learn to speak your mate's love language
Review: Are you sure you know what makes your mate feel loved? If you can answer "yes" without hesitation you are either very lucky or (more likely?) too hasty. Reading this book made me understand more fully what I thought I knew already: Human beings are different. One person's way of expressing love may mean little to another person. Gary Chapman identifies five basic ways of expressing love: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Giving Gifts, and Physical Touch. If you and your mate speaks different "love languages" AND NONE OF YOU REALIZE IT, disappointments and problems are in store. E.g, imagine you give your mate a gift that you put a lot of work or money in, but s/he would much rather just be together with you for an hour. Both of you will be disappointed, you because the gift what not taken as the love sign it was meant to be, your mate because you spent time on the gift instead of spending time on him/her. Turn the story around and imagine the joy possible if you both know what will make each other feel loved and both express love in the mate's love language. The book is an easy read, full of examplifying stories from real life, and avoids the pitfall of easy solutions to hard problems. There are a few Scripture references in each chapter, which is a plus from my point of view, but the book can be read without those by anybody ready to think of the loved one before thinking of oneself. One reservation about me: I am a bachelor, and this is mostly a marriage book. The principles of the book can be applied to family and people around me, but without a mate I am not fully competent to judge to book. At least I know what to give my cousin when she is married at the end of the summer!

Summary: Chalk One Up for Love
Review: I read at least two self-help books each week and few have lived up to the usefulness of this title. It doesn't have the typical psycho-babble of most books by Drs. It was thought provoking and really helped me understand that there are different ways of expressing love. Another fantastic book on this subject is The Romantic's Guide by Michael Webb. I've been giving these books out as wedding presents.
