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.

 Relationship Saver. May 2, 2008
If you desire a deeper understanding of your lover, please read this book. I'm not saying it will solve all your problems, but if you read it with a conscience mind and an open heart, you will surely benefit. Thank you Dr. Chapman.
Exceptional book for relationships April 28, 2008
I am a clinical therapist and have rarely found a great tool for couples. This text is magnificent. Pair this with The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work and you have the perfect combination for ensuring relationship success. I also recommend Mr. Chapman's Four Seasons book as it commbines the five language books into one masterpiece.

 Makes good observations and points... April 21, 2008
I've not yet finished reading this but I like the points it has to make and the test it comes with to determine what type of love language you and your mate are. I'm glad to have a new point of view on how to make things work better in your relationships.
