13absy 's review for:
The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts
by Gary Chapman
My therapist had suggested this book to me as a means to help me be more communicative about my feelings and to essentially re-learn how to show and receive love and affection through action after being in an emotionally manipulative and verbally abusive relationship for several years.
While it does have SOME decent advice for being more open, which in turn helps one be more communicative, more honest, and more loving, and a dash of helpful notes on how to allow yourself to be vulnerable, I feel like there is A LOT of cloaked misogynistic gender roles that, while reading some of the lines, had me furrowing my brow in disbelief and disappointment.
Big pass.
