Rating:  Summary: BEST GIFT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED, CHANGED MY ENTIRE LIFE Review: It is so simple and easy to understand. After I read it, I couldn't understand why I hadn't realized these concepts before. I wish I could give a copy of this book to every man, woman, and child. What a wonderful world we would have if we all understood the "Five Love Languages" and spoke them to all we meet everyday!! The family is a great place to start. My family and I regularly ask eachother "How full is the 'love tank?'". When things are tough at school, work or life in general, we now ask eachother freely "What can I do to make your love tank full?" Sometimes only the passing of time will cure a family problem (example: problems at work), but our family's committment to express to eachother the variety of dialects between quality time, words of affirmation, and physical touch (which seem to be the most needed of the 5 languages in our particular household when outside problems occur) can make the hardest of times go by so much easier and faster. How I wish everyone would read this book!!!
Rating:  Summary: Principles to revive your marriage! Review: This book helped my husband and I learn HOW to communicate love to each in ways that we could understand! My only regret is that we did not read this book as soon as we were married. This book can save you and your spouse much frustration and hurt, and lead to a fulfilling, loving marriage!
Rating:  Summary: EXCELLENT! Review: I've read various marriage books and nothing compared to this book. This book has opened up my eyes from being closed for the past 7 years in marriage. This book has helped me after my husband and I got back together after a month separation.I am sharing it with all my family, friends and coworkers!
Rating:  Summary: God's big key to unlock the mysteries of marriage! Review: I've found through life that God will put the keys within your reach to unlock the important doors in life. Why would you be given a vision on how your life should be if he wouldn't give you the tools to build it? The tools are there, you just have to pick them up and use them. THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THOSE MAJOR TOOLS! Marriage is a never-ending uphill battle when your spouse shows affection for you in a way that you don't understand, and how do you think your spouse feels under the same conditions? When spouses don't feel loved at home, they seek affection elsewhere! This book will help you clear up those precious lines of communication. When your spouse notices the difference (and they will), tell them the book showed you how to love them properly and they'll read it. And what a difference. How could you resent or dislike someone who shows you genuine unconditonal love in just the right ways? This book is a good easy read. Be prepared to receive some genuine love!
Rating:  Summary: Eye opening! Fantastic!!!! Review: Would recommend this book to everyone I know
Rating:  Summary: five suggestions for improving spousal communication Review: My husband and received this book as a wedding gift from a long time friend. Now I know she and her husband have such a successful marriage! My husband and I took the book with us on our honeymoon. We read the book aloud so as to discuss the contents. We learned so much about each other: the expectations we have for each other, why we behave in a particular manner, and best of all, we learned how to keep what Dr. Chapman calls "the love tank" full.
Rating:  Summary: BEAUTIFUL, BUT ONLY WITH THE RIGHT PERSON Review: This is the best book written on how one would like to receive love and give it back in return. I caution the reader, however, to be careful in reading this book with your partner out of marriage. I fell in love with the man who recommended it to me to read for our fresh and what I thought was a budding romance. He was an expert in manipulation, knew what to say and how to say it. I would have done anything for this man because I thought I finally had found someone who could read my love language. Then BAMM, I gave in and he left the very same day! Watch out for bamboozelers, girls! This book can be dangerous in the wrong hands. . .
Rating:  Summary: Brilliant! (And in plain English, too.) Review: This book is without a doubt the best resource available on communication in relationships. I was given the book by a good friend soon after my divorce two years ago, and I'm a changed person having read it. 'The Five Love Languages' is a must-have for couples whether or not you're experiencing problems in your relationship. To all my friends out there, you now know what you'll be getting from me for Christmas this year.
Rating:  Summary: The Five Love Languages can help you give and receive love. Review: Are you and your spouse speaking the same language? People express and receive love in different ways. Dr. Gary Chapman identifies these as the five languages of love: quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. If you express love in a way your spouse doesn't understand, he or she won't realize you've expressed your love at all. The problem is that you're speaking two different languages. Perhaps your husband needs to hear encouraging words, but you feel cooking a nice dinner will cheer him up. When he still feels down, you're puzzled. Or, maybe your wife craves time with you---time away from the kids and television. The flowers you gave her just don't communicate that you care. In The Five Love Languages you will find a couple's guide to help you work as a team. Before you know it, you'll learn to speak and understand the unique languages of love and effectively express your love as well as feel truly loved in return. Dr. Gary Chapman, Ph.D., directs marriage seminars throughout the United States and is host of the nationally syndicated radio broadcast A Growing Marriage. He has counseled married couples for more than twenty-five years. He and his wife, Karolyn, have been married for more than thirty-five years and have two grown children.
Rating:  Summary: This book opened my eyes Review: This book helped me understand what my husband was asking of me. He's very pleased with the results. Now he has to read it!
