I mean - everyone should really have a copy of this book. There would be so more peace and intentionally thoughtful, loving people all throughout the world! It gets you thinking about how you express yourself in relationships and how to intune to what other people really need/ want...and so much more.

This was a very quick read filled with lots of tips and information on how to better your relationship by finding out and speaking your spouses/partners love language. The questions written at the end of each chapter really helped me focus in on the specific needs for myself and my husband in our relationship. I also loved the Christian approach to some of the tips.

I recommend reading this with your spouse and going over the questions together. It brought a new light into my relationship by doing this.

My love language is quality time and physical touch
My husbands love language is words of affirmation and acts of service.

It is always nice to get to know your spouse in ways you may have forgotten about by life being so hectic and busy. Take some time and slow down and read this at your own pace. I promise you wont regret it.

Such an insightful book. This really helped me first to understand myself and my love language, then to find out my husband's. That information has helped us to invest in each other in a meaningful way, improving our relationship.

I really liked this book. It is a simply, forward way of looking at love and relationships. These concepts seem obvious, but apparently they're not. It made wonderful sense to me and I think it'll really help keep my relationship fresh and loving even after the in-love feeling Dr. Chapman talks about wears off. I can't wait for the years of deeper love ahead. Check out my blog review of the book!
