Pretty decent tips for how to show your partner you appreciate them through their love language and how your partner can appreciate you through yours. I like the examples the author used through the couples he worked with. My husband and I both listened to the audiobook and liked it.
fast-paced
I knew the concept of the book going in and what all the love languages were, but the book was very helpful in getting a deeper picture of what they all meant. I especially enjoyed the examples from different couples that demonstrated how loving your spouse in their primary love language could change a relationship. The author also included a lot of good ideas of how to implement each love language even if it is a difficult one for you to “speak.” Overall, I thought the concept was presented well and makes it seem simple to implement.
The part I didn’t like as much was that the author didn’t seem to give enough credit and value to God and the Bible. He would sometimes present a Biblical concept or directly quote a verse but wouldn’t always say that it was from the Bible. He also talked about people relying on their faith, but I don’t remember him ever mentioning praying for your spouse or God working in the marriage. I am assuming he downplayed God and scripture to make it more accessible for anyone, but it still bothered me.

Very interesting take on relationships and how people show and perceive love differently - I'd recommend it to others.

Helt ok, litt gammeldags kanskje. Noe innsiktsfull til tider.
I found this book and the advice and way to look at love languages really helpful. It made me really see not only my husband, but also other people in my life.
I borrowed the audio version of this book from Libby to listen to on my drive to/from CT. (Perfect length for the drive) the only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars was bc the author was a bit of a Jesus freak (not meant to be offensive it just isn’t my thing) and it was clear throughout the publication. He read the book and did have a cool accent that sounded just like the antagonist from the movie Atlantis (IYKYK). And although the target audience is married couples, I felt the content can be useful for those in and out of any romantic relationship. I am a little familiar with the five love languages but this book provided great examples of couples who struggled to understand their own/their partners LL and what they did to solve those problems. It also provided great examples of things you can do to meet your partners emotional needs. The greatest thing I learned was if you’re more focused on your partners emotional needs the more likely they will be to cater to your emotional needs, even if they look different from their own.
