The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts
by Gary Chapman
Could any couple benefit from this advice? Sure, but only because of how basic it is. If you are a traditional couple who didn't talk about sex, finances, division of labor, or how to respectfully argue with your partner before you got married, this is for you.
I found this book rather unsettling and I couldn't put my finger on why until I read its sequel about marriage. This book is extremely dated when it comes to gender roles. All the wives mentioned in this book are housewives whose main complaint is their husband doesn't help them around the house. (Their love language is never Physical Touch because, as we learn in the book, women are special creatures who absolutely must have an emotional connection before they deign to enter their husbands' bedchambers). Men are always upset at how sensitive their wives are (almost all the men's love language is Physical Touch because they're big strong macho men who can't wait to give their housewives all their D after a long day at the office).
This book may not have been written expressly for traditional religious couples, but it's clear that most of the author's clients fall along these lines. As a 21st-century woman who likes to maintain control of her finances, property, and vagina, this was slightly helpful to me, but I won't be using it as a strong reference in my relationships.
