bethg331 's review for:
The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts
by Gary Chapman
4.5
First of all I believe this book should be given to anyone getting married or just married. I am very much 'Acts of Service' and about showing up for the people you love. I feel like most men are 'Physical Touch' and 'Words of Affirmation'. The key though is communication and compromise. Knowing what you are and what your significant other is is not enough. You have to tell them that. My husband will ask if I want to go to Home Depot with him. Of course I don't but the fact that he is asking means he wants me to go with him. So I go. He does not see that as love. But I go because I love him. That's how I show love and it hurt me when other family members wouldn't show up for things with my family, but I had to learn that that's how I show love and other people do not see it that way. If I show up to your event its love because I would always rather stay at home and read. Also, this book mentions its about two years of bliss when you are first dating someone before reality sets in. So I guess you need to wait two years before marriage. I always have told my daughter to know someone for a year before getting engaged, I guess I need to change it to two years. She'll be thrilled. I did not do any quotes because most of the book would have been highlighted.
Also, I had assumed this was Amy Grant's first husband. It's not. Different Gary Chapman.
