I read it because I'd heard so much about it and I wanted to figure out what my family was in order to love them better. However, it was full of patient examples and only a little bit to determining what your own family members were. I'm still no closer to finding that out. Wished it was more helpful in that respect. Hence the 2 stars.

My husband (then boyfriend) lent me this book to read, having already taken the love language quiz. I lent him the first few Animorphs books to read in return (he subsequently read the first graphic novel versions instead, as I gifted them to him), and I have finally read this book, nearly 3 years after he recommended it to me. Oops! But much of what was in the book, we had already been (sub- for me) and consciously doing together, about discovering what each of our love languages was/were, and how to give that love language to the other. It helped me not only put words to how I receive love, but also realize how I give love not only in my husband’s love languages (primary and secondary), but also how flexible I am in employing each of the love languages. I know a couple I want to lend this book to in the hopes that it might help them discover each other’s love languages, to communicate better, and improve their own relationship. Love is important, choosing to love most of all, but not far behind is giving that love to the other person in ways that fill them. When we each speak each other’s love language to the other, there is more love to go around, and more happiness together.

Felt like a bunch of obvious points. Basically, make sure you’re loving your partner in THEIR love language, and practice it daily especially if it isn’t natural to you.

If you ignore the heteronormative and misogynistic tendencies of the author, it's not a bad book. At its root, it gives logical and easy-to-follow advice on how to improve your relationship. I was familiar with the 5 love languages before reading this book, but it still gave me a better understanding of what each one meant. Both my partner and I have incorporated little things from the book, so it was successful in that regard.
Good concepts presented in a simple, mildly annoying way. Sparked great conversation but was a bit of a slog to get through.

Excellent information, I feel like I learned a lot about myself.
Falling in love is effortless; staying in love is a conscious choice.
