This is a very small and quick to read book. It still resonated deeply with me. The concept of 5 love languages is a very intuitive and applicable one. I will surely try to use it :-)

The tools taught in the book are useful things to be mindful of and the book would be higher stars but he has some very old school ideas on what a relationship should be ie only talks about a relationship being between a man and a woman and alludes through examples (whether consciously or not) that certain “love languages” are more common with certain genders when this is not the case. You can read around the proselytising but it does distract from the information being provided.
I did find it funny that I’m one of the chapters he unwittingly used Christian ideals to validate the practice of sex work. (If your wondering it’s in the example of a wife have sex with their husband because he would enjoy it even if she wouldn’t necessarily)

This was about the 5 love languages and how we can be better partners by loving our person in their own love language. I had read about them a while ago and wanted to read this book. It has practical, simple and mindful ways to love your partner no matter their love language!
Pick this up if you want to be a better partner!

It was when I read this book that I realized I'm wrong for thinking I knew enough about love. If you're single, read this book. If you're in a relationship, read this book. If you are open for a relationship, read this book. If you're not open to it, still, read this book.

I had always heard of the five love languages so I decided to listened to this book on a long car ride with my wife, and I was surprised how much I actually learned from it. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone, even for other relationships with friends or family members. Essentially, not every act of kindness is as meaningful to everyone, so try and figure out what makes the people closest to you feel loved- it's often not the same way you would want someone else to show you love. Sounds counterintuitive, but I promise it makes sense if you try it!
