All common sense gets redundant after a while. The premise is true enough, except for the fact that there are more than five basic needs out there. My boyfriend found a 'love language' in the book to fit him perfectly, but although my own need is just as straightforward, you can't contort any of the given five to fit it. And there's no way I'm unique there. The religion angle was significantly more low key than I was expecting. Again, that perspective depends on what you've already read. The case study examples really got repetitive, but I'm not sure what would have been a better way to do it. Some of his advice definitely only works for certain personality types and -- probably more important -- certain subcultures, but he's pretty up front about that too. (  ) kristenn | Jan 10, 2010 |  A very valuable insight into the fact that we all receive love in different ways. Why does one person really feel loved when bought a gift whereas others need to often hear the words 'I love you'? We are all different and this book helps us to identify what we like most of all - our preferred love language and what our partner most appreciates. Put into practice this can help build very strong relationships. (  ) docliz | Jan 9, 2010 | Nothing groundbreaking in these pages but it is a great idea about making sure that the way you are showing love to your loved ones is being heard/received in the way you intend. The author admits that we all probably need a bit of each of the love languages, but that we all have a primary love language that speaks loudest to us. Sometimes it is hard to guess the love language of those around you, but i would venture to say it is necessary. There about 1-2 quotes from the bible in each chapter, but I would not say that it would get in the way of a non-Christian being able to understand and appreciate the main ideas from the book since the tenets of the book are not tied to any religion, (and are not far from common sense). LanaE | Jan 3, 2010 | Communication between spouses, is taught in this couples guide to work as a team. scsaglib | Oct 4, 2009 | A good book. Based on the premise - do onto others as they want done. Don't assume doing things that what you like will be liked by your partner (or anyone else). Find out what they like and do that. ( )1  Neale | Aug 23, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
How do you discover your spouse’s – and your own – love language? Chapman’s short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage.
Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like –hoping the feelings of affection will follow later– a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort. "Love is a choice," says Chapman. "And either partner can start the process today." --Cindy Crosby. This text refers to the Amazon.com Exclusive Journal & Paperback Book Set.
