Life changing.

I was SO skeptical about this book. I am not a Christian and didn’t think I could relate it to. I was SO. WRONG. This book changed almost every relationship in my life for the better. Reading/ listening to this book should be a life requirement...like taxes.

Very interesting

I found this book to be very interesting and thought provoking. However, there is an underlying Christian focus that is not spoken of in its description. For someone who is not religious or for someone of another faith, they may lose focus at times where the Christian emphasis is highlighted.

Excellent Book

Dr Chapman has an amazing concept here. I just found out my wife had been cheating on me for the last 3 years and this book really helpped me understand myself and why she did this and what I could do to help heal. Saddly we are still divorcing but this is still helpping me understand and become closer with my kids, family and friends and even coworkers.
I will re listen over and over again to help refresh myself and follow Dr Chapman's theories in all my ruture relationships.

Required Listening

If you are in an intimate relationship, have friends, a family, or are seeking love, then this is what I consider to be required listening.

This incredible piece helped me understand how to love everyone around me much better.

Thank you X a million.

Anyone should be aware of the 5 love languages

This book is universal, not only for married couples, it can be applied anywhere with your human connections. The concept is pretty simple and the power of the book comes from the simplicity of the concepts. Applying those concepts is the great challenge and it is 150% worth trying it. Any human relationship should be understood through this lenses. I loved it.

Dated.

Dated examples but still solid core ideas. Needs updating for modern/young couples. Still very rooted in the idea that "women belong in the home" and too frequently brings Christianity into examples. There is no mention of any kind of reference to Christianity in the description of this book and therefore I feel that I should not be subjected to it. It was definitely disappointing.

Dont waste your money

nothing wrong with the content of the actual 5 love languages, but this book is sooo unnecessary. just google the 5 and read up on it. every example he goes through are almost unbearable to listen to. hard not to roll my eyes as I listen to one dumb example after another. he even can't keep these languages organized and putting examples in working categories. being present is a gift?? what happened to quality time you dummy? then goes on to force men into the one category he likes by using a negative trick. im sorry but saying terrible things about someone is not the same as just not receiving complements. One take away from the book is that women should stay home and have my damn meal cooked when I get home! the kitchen is where you belong apparently.
this info could have just been summed up in 10 minutes. bullet points are all that is necessary. wish I hadn't given this guy more money.

Everyone should have a copy

There is so much misunderstanding when it come to communicating love in long-term relationships. I sincerely appreciated the way Gary Chapman helps us find ways to love, to have compassion in 'real' terms for our loved ones and for ourselves. Life's journey, however long or short, involves imperfect people trying to be happy and make others happy. This helps me understand why the cards and gifts made little impact; instead of being hurt, or closing my heart I can focus on loving in other ways, in ways that touch hearts and express more clearly the kind of love that I hold in my heart. I wish I had had this book 30 years ago, but I have it now. I really believe love long-term is possible -- never too old to learn. Thank you.
