The premise you’d think is fine but the gender dynamics made me too uncomfortable to give this higher than a 2. It’s also really all just an elaborate way of saying: stop nagging, and just bend to 50s gender norms.

I listened to the audiobook.

It really helped me understand myself and my partner better. It allowed me to be more open to receiving the love of my partner while becoming more understanding that although it may not be the way I receive love it is my partners way of showing me love and thats important too! Not giving it 5 stars, because I find the book to be quite sexist as the author projects a narrative of gender roles. In addition the book is totally cis-gender heteronormative and non-inclusive.

(audiobook)

this book seems very old school ( piano was a nice touch lol ) but overall i did enjoy it! I definitely learned more about the different love languages so can’t complain (:

If you set aside the religious heteronormative framework the book is written in, the central tenant that a person may feel most loved when it is expressed in a certain mode rings true. Take the online quiz and use it as a basis for discussion and exploring the idea of what makes you feel most loved.

It was interesting, but not revolutionary. I did a little self-reflection, but definitely not a book I need to buy.

started to do an immersive read, listening while reading along which normally would be fine but unfortunately the audio version i had access to is a much earlier edition than the one i was reading along with and it included parts not in the copy i was reading which really pulled me out of it. decided to continue reading with just the physical copy. 
informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

What's your love language? I'm bilingual: Acts of Service and Spending Time. Good reminders in this book which was recommended at a MOPS meeting...looking forward to reading the version about children's love languages and how to best communicate.
