Amazon.com Review
Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice. 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. |

Repetitive by Nicholas Weisenberger (Toledo, Ohio)  3 Stars
November 17, 2009
The book is alright. Seems to me like a lot of it is repeated over and over. He spends more time telling you what he is going to tell you than actually telling it. Does offer some good insights though.

I loved this book! It offers an insight on relationships I hadn't previously thought about. It also gives ways to put the theories into practice. I definitely recommend it (and I'm making my family members read it!).

Required reading for couples by libmeister53 (Ponca City, OK USA)  4 Stars
November 09, 2009
This guy's got a handle on how good relationships go bad and how to prevent it with just some simple common sense effort. This will not save a marriage where one or both partners is just not a good person. But many times, two really good people just can't get it to work and this explains why and gives the easiest solutions in the world. If I was a marriage counselor, I would send my clients home with two copies of this book on the first appointment.
