Who is NOT in this category? =) So many relationship books seem like so much reading and not enough action. Chapman gives suggestions on how to work through them together - all the while loving each other BETTER! =) I definitely recommend this book to anyone who has ever felt confused about relationships, whether it be with family, friends, or significant others. When miscommunication occurs, you can sometimes be left wondering, "who is this person I am with?" but a look into the five love languages can really help identify these issues and Dr. Chapman's work on the five love languages is insightful and helps us to realize just why some things that are so simple and basic to us, may not be understood by our mate. I have the print copy, but found it difficult for my long time fiance and myself to find time to read it together - the audiobook was a great answer. I hope Dr Chapman will keep writing! Thanks Dr! We plan to go further with our "reading" as we have a new hobby, listening to books together. It has brought us so much closer and helped us to connect again while learning more about ourselves and each other. He even wanted to listen to the book with me and we disussed things as we listened. SO refreshing and info that I didnt even know I needed! Our marriage was in a rut & I can honestly say that when trying some suggestions from the book my husband immediately responded. It explains why those suggestions you get in magazines dont always work so well. It doesnt focus so much on the differences between men and women like in the Mars Venus Series of John Gray but more on the WAY we love. Also info that will make giving & receiving love as well as being lovable so much easier. Its real info that can be used to reopen and then keep the channels of communication open between partners. Everything he said made sense, plain english and would apply to everyone's situation whether married, in a relationship or not. Dont let his funky southern accent put you off, it will actually endear you to him as you grow to admire his insights and find your own penny dropping inside. They would work for anyone, anywhere in the world that has a desire to seek more from their partnership and is willing to listen.
These Love languages Dr Chapman talks about transcend culture & speech language. Let me tell you this, from start to finish this guy knows his stuff.
I get tired of reading reviews that sound over the top of many peoples heads & those that make you wonder if they were paid to write it.
As I am Australian we kind of like our info served straight up and no beating around the bush. In one word, amazing! I will make this honest & to the point.
