Summary: Wonderful and Enlightening
Review: I highly recommend this book to anyone, not just couples. It has helped me understand my friends and my friends to understand me. I have learned to interpret other languages so that I can see when my loved ones are telling me they love me, even when it's not my language. My parent's marriage was reformed by this book. My dad was speaking Greek and my mother was speaking Chinese. After reading this book, they started talking in the others language and it is wonderful to watch them love each other. I give this book to all my friends as wedding gifts now. Thanks Gary.

Summary: If only I had learned this sooner . . .
Review: Outstanding explanation of what we all should but don't know about love relationships. I was amazed at how accurately the book expressed and explained my own life experiences. During troubled times in my marriage I felt that no matter how hard I tried to make my wife happy, I felt that she was less than pleased by my attempts. I realize now that I was not expressing my love for her in a manner that made her feel loved - her "primary language" - but instead in the language which made me feel loved. We both realized but couldn't explain why we tended to give gifts to each other that were meaningful to the giver but not as meaningful to the recipient. The lack of understanding each other's language of love ultimately created years of needless and unintended hurt feelings and emotional separation. I would recommend this book to anyone in or looking for a valued relationship. Share it with your children so they might avoid the mistakes of their ignorant parents. Another life lesson that must be learned. Great book.

Summary: Can You Say "I Love You" So Your Partner Really Hears You?
Review: Dr. Gary Chapman has provided engaged and married couples with a wonderfully useful and clear way of discovering and communicating with each other about their most important needs. In fact, Dr. Chapman is helping us realize the ways in which we experience love differently from person to person. You may feel great love towards your partner but be expressing it in a way he or she can't readily experience because their "Love Language" is not the same. For example, I may buy wonderful gifts for my wife to show how much I cherish her--the Love Language of Gift Giving-- and expect her to be deeply grateful. But it may be that it would mean far more to her if I would simply take out the garbage since her love language is "Acts of service". If you want to experience quick improvement in your ability to understand and fulfill needs in your relationship, read The Five Love Languages. In this book, Dr. Chapman, who has effectively counseled couples for many years, offers thorough descriptions of each love language and how to successfully share them for a love-rich partnership. I use this book as a must-read in counseling couples and at my Love in Action marriage retreats, always with positive response. Enjoy!

Review: It seems so simple -- "I should have known that" -- but it is not easy. This book has provided insight to me and my husband -- as well as friends and relatives we passed it along to after reading it.

Summary: A must for any couple!!!
Review: What an insightful book!! This book is a must for any couple, whether they are dating, engaged, or married. I just finished it and already I can see the changes in my own relationship. Now my fiance' and I are getting our parents and siblings to read it also. It really makes you think both about your own needs and those of your partner. I am excited about discovering my partner's love language and learning how to keep his love tank full. This book can help any relationship- I would suggest it to anybody!!!

Summary: This book should be MANDATORY READING BEFORE GETTING MARRIED
Review: My wife and I have both read this book. It should be mandatory reading for people getting married and it should help about 99% of people already married. Figuring out what makes your spouse tick is probably the hardest thing married people end up trying to do, and this book gives you a massive short cut. We have bought a dozen or so copies since we first read the book, and give it out as an engagement and/or wedding present whenever possible.

Summary: The Best book ever on how to fill your loved ones love tank.
Review: When I read this book and discovered my own love languages I thought, "Wow, I wish I'd have known this in my first marriage, I could have probably saved it". Now I recommend this book to all couples and folks even if they are in the process of divorce, it could be a relationship mender as well as help in the marriage reconciliation process, I believe couples in the process of divorce should put to practice the suggestions in this book before calling it quits. Who knows, it may start the fire again where you can communicate with each other and learn to love each other again. I saw humorous parts, as well as the serious. Discovered my own love languages and those of the man I'm involved with. I really think one of the keys here is giving. Jesus gave all for us, and that's what we do to fill our loved ones love tank. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I'm getting it for my kids for Christmas.
