Amazing book! I know the 5 love languages and read about them years ago but reading them about how our kids and their love languages has pushed me to be a better Mother and wife. I struggle with the day to day needs of the kids and then husband and felt I needed to shift my perspective on how to be better rather than reactive to everything. What I am finding is that it all comes back to everyone’s love language! I’m finding that each kid needs something different from my husband and I and that tailoring my parenting to that as well can do so much for them and me. One may need more quality time while the other needs physical touch and words of affirmation.
But what I am finding even more wonderful is at the end of the boom it talks about the parents. How we can show our spouses the love language they need which in turn showcases the unconditional love we give to each other to our children! They see “wow Daddy really loves Mommy because he gives her little gifts and words and Mommy loves Daddy because she gives him kisses when he gets home and asks how his day was”. I really needed to read this book!
Overall, this book wasn’t just fancy talk with no substance. It gave me examples, stories, and applications to each love language. It was simple yet had enough detail to get me thinking. It was a great read and I hope to keep this fire under me to be better for my kids and spouse!

Although my child is not quite old enough to have a defined love language this is an eye opening book to reflect on things that are important to children and how they feel love in different ways. My toddler currently loves quality time and physical touch more than others. I have been more aware of her reactions to things we say and do together as a family and hope that I can continue using this learned information to build a long lasting healthy relationship :)

This book really makes you think. I believe it is a great parenting tool. I really liked this book.
A few chapters into the book the author explains that you can't really determine a child's love language until they're at least 5 which would have been helpful info to have on the cover since my kids are younger than that. Maybe that tidbit made me less interested in finishing the book. It was interesting learning about the 5 languages but I felt like there wasn't much concrete advice and it was more soft, common sense, let's talk about our feelings, less practical solutions. Maybe the adult book would be more interesting to me. I might revisit this book in 5-10 years and find it more helpful.

Some nice points, a bit overtly religious at times which was interesting.
