The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate (Relationships)

Came so quickly

This book is excellent in every respect. It is for indiviuals and/or couples, is very easy to read, not preachy, full of practical ideas and exercises (rather than endless theory)and most importantly full of HOPE for a more fulfilling life. It provides insights that can help those who just want to improve the good marriages they already have. But it can really help those struggling with a troubled marriage, whether as a result of infidelity, those wondering why they don't love their partner they way they used to or just the the ups and downs of marriage. Importantly, the author gives ideas that can be practiced whether or not your partner wants to participate in the improvment process. Strongly recommended.

I was recommended this book and found it interesting and has helped me personallyI would recommend this if you want to understand your partner and what it is that makes them behave in a particular way.

a recommended book , interesting book. Good for couples who have lost the spark. Important to keep the love going in a relationship.

I bought this book to try and learn something about relationships. I am in a long distance relationship with someone I love very much, and I could not understand why it was so difficult to maintain the feelings of love in the relationship, it wasn't just about the distance. After reading this book, I now understand why, and it also answered some fundamental issues and questions I've always had about the relationships I had with my parents when I was growing up. This book is well written, easy to read, and is based on Chapman's real life experience which lends it extra weight. It is superb and extremely inspiring! Thank you so much Dr. Chapman.

This book is recommeded by the Marriage Course ( a course to help strengthen relationships). its easy to get bogged down in life and forget your partner. it helps you understand how you and they feel loved, something which we need to get right. people feel loved in different ways and not necessarily the way that you yourself feels love.I reccommend this along with doing The Marriage Course (a course that is available throughout the country) It consists of 7 nights with a meal, a dvd talk and a workbook. its like an 7 week long date and helps to reignite communication and dealing with life together and face conflicts. Do a google to find your local one!

Just had to let you know that this is an amazing book! My husband and I have both read it and it has really enriched our marraige. We have bought several other copies and given it to couples as Christmas Gifts, Engagement Presents and Part of wedding presents! We know of a marraige that was saved with the help of this book. The 5 love languages for Children and Teens was also very helpful and practical.

I personally was given this book by my wife to read and I wish I had read it 10 years ago. The author is very right when he says that the "in-love" feeling that we first experience when we meet someone can disappear in the first 2 years of marriage. Once the "in-love" emotion disappears we wonder why we loved that person to begin with. Thus begins the excuses we generate to separate or divorce.In this book, the author shows that love is not a feeling, but it is a decision. The decision that everyone needs to make to speak the love language of the person we love. That love language could be words of affection and encouragement, doing household chores, touching, giving gifts or spending quality time together.While the book is great and very helpful, it may not appeal to non-Christians because the author insists by drawing examples from the Bible and Jesus' own life. While this is okay, and I am not anti-religion, I do believe the biblical references are unnecessary and may turn off secular readers. This is a pity as the book's main theory that we speak five separate love languages is very plausible and should be given respect.
