Really really helpful on understanding your relationship with your partner。 It helps me to understand why my past relationships did not work。

This book contains helpful tools I will utilize in my marriage， friendships， and family relationships。 My only complaint is the focus on cis-hetero relationships。 While the tools can be utilized in any relationship， there are certainly more LGBT+ friendly books in existence。

I’ve heard of the love languages before and have been wanting to read this for a while。 It provided clear descriptions of the 5 love languages and plenty of examples of how to show love in each language。 I’m excited to discuss the book with my partner and think any couple or even friends should really read this and take the different love languages into consideration！！

Definitely recommend it。 Especially to those who feel that there's a lack of intimacy， connection or some sort of emptiness in their relationship。 Definitely recommend it。 Especially to those who feel that there's a lack of intimacy， connection or some sort of emptiness in their relationship。 。。。more

2，5 stars。 I loved the idea of the 5 love languages and I think they are reasonable measurements to improve or spice up a relationship。 However， this book was very heteronormative and uses a lot of stereotypes for men and women in my opinion。 And since I’m not married I probably didn’t get the full experience out of this。

Leí este libro porque me dio curiosidad， porque me gusta aprender， y porque trato de tener una mente abierta。 Y lo cierto es que me resultó tan progre como puede ser un libro cristiano de los '90 escrito por un antropólogo cishetero blanco。En general me re coparon los planteos pero detesté los ejemplos。 Son muy hetero， muy blancos， y muy noventosos。 Ya sé， ya sé， ¿qué esperaba？ Y la verdad， es que esperaba exactamente eso， así que no me sorprendí， pero eso no significa que me gusten， ¿no？Además Leí este libro porque me dio curiosidad， porque me gusta aprender， y porque trato de tener una mente abierta。 Y lo cierto es que me resultó tan progre como puede ser un libro cristiano de los '90 escrito por un antropólogo cishetero blanco。En general me re coparon los planteos pero detesté los ejemplos。 Son muy hetero， muy blancos， y muy noventosos。 Ya sé， ya sé， ¿qué esperaba？ Y la verdad， es que esperaba exactamente eso， así que no me sorprendí， pero eso no significa que me gusten， ¿no？Además hay como un intento muy débil de explicar la "violencia doméstica" por la falta de amor y entendimiento que me pareció una pelotudez。 Pero bueno， vamos a los positivo。Lo que plantea este libro es que hay cinco lenguajes básicos del amor。 Él lo usa casi siempre para el amor romántico， pero realmente creo que es aplicable a casi cualquier relación de amor interpersonal。 Los lenguajes que el autor reconoce son las palabras de afirmación， el tiempo de calidad， recibir regalos， los actos de servicio， y el contacto físico。 Dichos así， parece que se explican solos y hasta resultan muy superficiales， pero la verdad es que son más profundos e implican mucho más de lo que aparentan。 Y eso me encantó。 。。。more

Bastante bueno。 Excelente explicación de los lenguajes del amor。 Detallada pero precisa， ejemplos realistas y cotidianos。 Me encantó que para explicar cada parte partía de una dramatización de personas dentro de las experiencias vividas del Dr。 Chapman。 Yo era su amigo， y a los amigos se les da jugo。Recomiendo este libro a todo aquel que esté firme de quien es y del verdadero rol del ser humano en la sociedad， ya que， de lo contraria podría verse afectado por costumbres e ideales erróneos。 Con e Bastante bueno。 Excelente explicación de los lenguajes del amor。 Detallada pero precisa， ejemplos realistas y cotidianos。 Me encantó que para explicar cada parte partía de una dramatización de personas dentro de las experiencias vividas del Dr。 Chapman。 Yo era su amigo， y a los amigos se les da jugo。Recomiendo este libro a todo aquel que esté firme de quien es y del verdadero rol del ser humano en la sociedad， ya que， de lo contraria podría verse afectado por costumbres e ideales erróneos。 Con esto me refiero al asqueroso machismo presente en el libro。 En algunas dramatizaciones está presente， y hasta en una frase del mismo Doctor Chapman y aunque son "subjetivas" porque sólo está en situaciones específicas， recalco lo que escribí al principio de este párrafo。 Por eso hay que tener mucho cuidado ya que:1。 Es un libro。 2。 Está escrito por una persona reconocida y bastante influyente。3。 No todas las personas tienen la misma capacidad mental y creen que TODO lo que está escrito en un libro es lo correcto。Éstas son las razones por las que califico este libro con 4 estrellas y no 5。 -10-Otra cosa， sobre la pareja del final， no está claro sobre el tipo de maltrato en el que giraban， pero algo que sí está claro es que no se puede aguantar maltrato y humillación de nadie por más que se quiera a esa persona。-Fuera de eso， considero que para una relación efectiva se deben tener claro los 5 lenguajes del amor y sus aspectos。-En el libro se habla de Jesús。 +5SinopsisSegún el consejero matrimonial， pastor y escritor， el Dr。 Gary Chapman existen 5 lenguajes del amor y cada uno de nosotros tiene 1 principal （o 2 al mismo tiempo）， según ese lenguaje y los 2 lenguajes del amor que le siguen， es que nos sentimos amados por alguien。LenguajeRealista， maduro y compasivo。NarrativaNo ficción。 。。。more

If I had read this book way back when I was in high school or college instead of reading I Kissed Dating Goodbye， I probably would not still be single twenty some odd years later。 Dating said "goodbye" and I never got no kiss。 Oh well， I guess that's just the way things go。 In this book， Gary Chapman talks about how each one of us has a "love tank" that fills up when those we care for express their love for us in a way that we can understand。 The thing is， when we express love， we all speak diff If I had read this book way back when I was in high school or college instead of reading I Kissed Dating Goodbye， I probably would not still be single twenty some odd years later。 Dating said "goodbye" and I never got no kiss。 Oh well， I guess that's just the way things go。 In this book， Gary Chapman talks about how each one of us has a "love tank" that fills up when those we care for express their love for us in a way that we can understand。 The thing is， when we express love， we all speak different languages。 Those languages are:1。 Acts of Service2。 Quality Time3。 Words of Affirmation4。 Gifts5。 Physical TouchChapman spends a chapter on each explaining what it looks like and how to best express love to someone who "speaks that language。" The book is peppered throughout with real-life examples he has come across through his time as a marital counselor。 The book is biblically grounded， but incredibly practical。 Even someone who is atheist or from a different religious background could learn and benefit from the practical advice and explanations of the different love languages that Chapman is talking about。Even though I am getting to this book thirty years late （it was first published in '90）， I felt as though most of it was very familiar material for me。 That speaks to how much influence this book has had on the experience and understanding of the world around me。 I knew long before cracking this open that my primary "love language" was physical touch and my secondary was "words of affirmation。" But until reading this book， I never truly understood just exactly what that meant and how it impacts me。As I said at the start， if only I had read this book twenty years earlier。 Don't make the same mistake I did。 Stop reading this review and pick up the book for yourself。 。。。more

The idea is good but it s pretty boring。 An article would have been enough to convey this principle。 Maybe adding some extra dimensions like one s childhood would have been better 。

Super short book。 Super concise。 Super "Christian"， but still very informative。 While I do not greatly appreciate the "putting people into boxes" approach that Chapman clearly bases any （same-sex）relationship aka marriage （because it's not real and good and true without it being in holy matrimony） on， I can also see that he is after something。 This was a fun and super quick read- that I would read with a grain of salt or two if I was you。 Nevertheless， interesting and def gets you thinking。 Super short book。 Super concise。 Super "Christian"， but still very informative。 While I do not greatly appreciate the "putting people into boxes" approach that Chapman clearly bases any （same-sex）relationship aka marriage （because it's not real and good and true without it being in holy matrimony） on， I can also see that he is after something。 This was a fun and super quick read- that I would read with a grain of salt or two if I was you。 Nevertheless， interesting and def gets you thinking。 。。。more

I received this book as a wedding present， and was pleasantly surprised that it lived up to the hype！ I've heard so much about the five love languages over the years and even taken the online quiz， but I think reading the whole book was still valuable。 Chapman explains the five love languages （words of affirmation， gifts， quality time， physical touch， and acts of service） clearly and with plenty of personal anecdotes from his time as a marriage coucilor。 I appreciate that he switches back and fo I received this book as a wedding present， and was pleasantly surprised that it lived up to the hype！ I've heard so much about the five love languages over the years and even taken the online quiz， but I think reading the whole book was still valuable。 Chapman explains the five love languages （words of affirmation， gifts， quality time， physical touch， and acts of service） clearly and with plenty of personal anecdotes from his time as a marriage coucilor。 I appreciate that he switches back and forth between pronouns throughout the book and doesn't code specific love languages as masculine or feminine （although there is some outdate gender information in here）。 Overall， while I didn't discover anything mindblowing there are some great lessons in here about communication， many of which I already use in my marriage。 I plan to hang on to the physical copy of this book and reread it when I need a reminder。Note: This book was clearly written through a Christian lens， but as someone who isn't religious， I didn't find it overbearing。 In contrast to some of the other reviewers here， I didn't feel as though Chapman ever suggested it was okay to stay in an abusive relationship。 。。。more

Sexist。 Dated。 5th line of book--the acknowledgements page: "If all wives loved as she does， fewer men would be looking over the fence。" I MEAN， WTF。 How could anyone possibly take this person's marriage advice seriously？ So， why did I even keep on reading it？ I'm a sucker for following through on a book club book no matter what。Why am I giving it 2 stars instead of 1？ Man， here's the kicker: the CONCEPTS are good。 And， I hate to admit it， I mean， I REALLY hate to admit it， but the ideas were gr Sexist。 Dated。 5th line of book--the acknowledgements page: "If all wives loved as she does， fewer men would be looking over the fence。" I MEAN， WTF。 How could anyone possibly take this person's marriage advice seriously？ So， why did I even keep on reading it？ I'm a sucker for following through on a book club book no matter what。Why am I giving it 2 stars instead of 1？ Man， here's the kicker: the CONCEPTS are good。 And， I hate to admit it， I mean， I REALLY hate to admit it， but the ideas were great conversation starters for my husband and me， even if to talk about the stuff I couldn't stand。 Ugh， if only someone else had written it。 。。。more

I'm not going to rate this。 It was useful to learn more about the languages but a lot of times I found myself thinking "yikes"， had to pause to laugh at how ridiculous some parts were。 I'm not going to rate this。 It was useful to learn more about the languages but a lot of times I found myself thinking "yikes"， had to pause to laugh at how ridiculous some parts were。 。。。more

Easy read with so many AHA moments， that explain key miscommunication reasons that can be so easily avoided。No matter if you are single or in a relationship （be it happy or not happy）， read this just out of curiosity and as a prevention。 You never know， maybe this will save your relationship with someone （be it a romantic one or just a friendship） :）

This book was very helpful and enjoyable to listen to。 Except for the last chapter which was kind of disturbing。 I still think it's worth reading— if anything you will come away with more knowledge about how to express love and ask for love from your partner。 This book was very helpful and enjoyable to listen to。 Except for the last chapter which was kind of disturbing。 I still think it's worth reading— if anything you will come away with more knowledge about how to express love and ask for love from your partner。 。。。more

It's amazing how much this book has influenced queer and polyamorous circles considering how conservative the author's views are。I could have done without the last part with all the religious preaching and the part where he thinks he can fix abusive relationships by loving the abuser more。 That really pissed me off。But yeah the basic idea is quite influencial for a reason。 It's amazing how much this book has influenced queer and polyamorous circles considering how conservative the author's views are。I could have done without the last part with all the religious preaching and the part where he thinks he can fix abusive relationships by loving the abuser more。 That really pissed me off。But yeah the basic idea is quite influencial for a reason。 。。。more

I loved this book and the concepts given！ I know the author is very religious and is coming from that perspective。 However， I feel like the content was extremely valuable for lasting relationships。
