This is a thought provoking and instructional book esp for those going through a hard time in marriage. Love one another because He loved us first!

A good primer to explore your spouses primary communication of love, however, it's dated and a bit antiquated. Today we need more tangible advice on how to create the experiences that will make our spouses feel loved and working them into a routine that feels natural. A lot of hype about this book and I felt it was rudimentary and not all that mind-blowing. If anything, it steers you towards marriage therapy because that of course is Dr. Chapman's profession.

Everyone in my family seems to have a unique love language. This is an important book to read and understand!

I am not sure that this version is needed on top of all the other versions out there, and I'm not incredibly find of the capitalization of this idea. But this book has been incredibly helpful for my husband and I. At the very least, it had given us a common vocabulary to discuss the issues we face, but it has made a lot of sense and given us ways to help each other and our marriage.

My relationship is a happy one. I heard about this book via one of the many book podcasts I subscribe to. I decided to give it a whirl. I learned SO much and look forward to applying it to my life. I recommend this shorty to anyone looking to enrich their relationship with their significant other or with their children (i have no children, but some of the examples used illustrate how it can be useful to child rearing). Yay love!!

This book is heteronormative, sometimes sexist, and very repetitive, but the concept that people express and feel love in different 'languages' makes a lot of sense. You only have to read about half this book to get the pertinent information, the rest is basically the author patting himself on the back. But still a good concept. Needs an update for sure.

Nice insight into the love languages in a way that is easily understandable and with pleasant writing style and story.
