If you've read the original [b:The 5 Love Languages|17574819|The 5 Love Languages/The 5 Love Languages Men's Edition/The 5 Love Languages of Teenagers/The 5 Love Languages of Children|Gary Chapman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1386615611l/17574819._SY75_.jpg|24514985] I'm not sure if this is really that much more helpful considering you can apply the same teachings to all of your relationships. That being said, the examples given and the test phrasing is definitely geared more towards all relationships in your life which may be the difference.
That also being said, I think the original book went into more detail regarding the love languages and I found that more helpful. I'd still recommend the original over this one.

A little too preachy, but interesting insights to the different ways we communicate love.

Very useful information for all types of relationships. I had my adult children and their friends take the test at the back of the book to get a better idea of how I might be able to communicate with them. Enlightening!

I liked this version better than the original. It not only has good advice for singles, but also has a lot of more general advice that's very useful.

Okay, this book is awesome. I've known about the love languages for years, but never read any of the books. This book was helpful I'm understanding them on a deeper level.
A few things that I especially liked:
-The author is religious and shares how his beliefs connect to the different love languages. I didn't feel like it was pushy or overwhelming at all. But as a Christian, I loved his insight. It really helped me to connect the concepts on a deeper level.
-I loved that the author discussed abusive relationships. It's definitely something that needs to be addressed. And I feel like he addressed it in a very respectful and constructive way.
-I loved the questions that were presented for the reader. (Warning: If you're anything like me, this may bring up some difficult memories for you and leave you feeling a little bit crazy. But, I mean, it was good. It helped me realize that there things that need to be addressed.)
I would recommend this book. I think I'll probably read this again sometime soon.

Honestly, too much God, too preachy for my taste.

après la lecture du livre "original" Les 5 langages de l'amour, j'ai décidé de lire celui ci qui correspond plus à ma vie. cependant le côté beaucoup plus ouvertement religieux m'a parfois dérangée. Mais rien de repoussant ceci étant. j'ai appris des choses dans cet ouvrage comme dans le 1er. Et cela m'a également permis de constater que j'avais compris certains principes des langages de l'amour.
c'est en tous les cas très instructif et très ludique ensuite de chercher le langage de l'amour de chacun.

I definitely appreciate the descriptions of all the love languages with the tangible suggestions of how to speak them. I felt like this could have been geared toward anyone, not specifically a single person, which is good and bad. Definitely a great read, but not too mind-blowing or earth-shattering.
