Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak
different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a
marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love
languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of
Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he
unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention;
another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse,
while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a
meal as filling their “love tank.” Some partners might find physical
touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and
sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life
examples from his counseling practice.
How do you discover your spouse’s – and your own – love language? Chapman’s short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage.

Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no
longer even like –hoping the feelings of affection will follow later– a
difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be
worth the effort. “Love is a choice,” says Chapman. “And either partner
can start the process today.” Read The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts online book today.
The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts Book Reviews
This book is absolutely incredible. Having serious marital problems, I
was desperate for any kind of help. I was about to turn to counseling
when I heard about this book. I decided to buy it so that my husband and
I could read it together.
Not expecting too much, one lazy morning I suggested to my husband that we lay in bed and begin reading this book out loud to eachother. We read 120 pages that morning! We could not put it down! Both of us shed a lot of tears that morning, this book really hit home.
That morning when we woke up, everything seemed hopeless for us. After reading this book, we had hope that our problems can be resolved. Our attitude toward eachother has greatly changed since we read this book.
Basically this book explains that people feel loved in different ways. For example, my love language is “quality time” and my husband’s love language is “personal touch.” Without quality time with my husband, I feel unloved… my husband feels unloved when we have a lack of physical contact. Our love languages are so different… before reading this book, I just thought that my husband wanted more sex for selfish reasons. When in reality, personal contact is what he needs to feel loved. Before reading this book, my husband hated when I nagged about spending time together.. but now he realizes that spending time with me is the best way to tell me that he loves me.
Dr. Chapman says in this book that LOVE IS A CHOICE. Find your partner’s love language style, then choose to show love to your partner in that way (it’s not about what YOU need to feel loved, it’s about what YOUR PARTNER needs). I thought that spending quality time with my spouse was the way I can show him I love him. In reality, that’s MY love language, not HIS.
Even if your partner does not want to read this book with you, there are ways you can begin to repair your marriage on your own, and before you know it, your partner will begin to reciprocate.
This book is INCREDIBLE. I plan to pass it around my friends and family. Please invest the $12 and read this book, your marriage will never be the same again!. Get online The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts now.
