Genuinely helpful and has already been helping me to improve my relationship with my housemate/close friend， whilst helping me to recognise what I’ve already been doing well， and where I can improve 😊Note for the LGBTIQA+ community: even as a gay guy with almost no representation in this book， I found it extremely helpful。

These are quotes that inspired the reader:"54% of online daters have felt that someone else seriously misrepresented themselves in their profile （p。240）。" That's a majority percentage， confirming that I am not going to meet my husband on Facebook or a free/cheap dating website。 "Shared beliefs and values are crucial for a healthy dating relationship。。。（p。239）。" No matter how alluring in form a potential suiter could be， if we are not of the same mind， it won't work。 Cut it off before it starts， These are quotes that inspired the reader:"54% of online daters have felt that someone else seriously misrepresented themselves in their profile （p。240）。" That's a majority percentage， confirming that I am not going to meet my husband on Facebook or a free/cheap dating website。 "Shared beliefs and values are crucial for a healthy dating relationship。。。（p。239）。" No matter how alluring in form a potential suiter could be， if we are not of the same mind， it won't work。 Cut it off before it starts， and save myself some heartache。"Consider saying to a friend， coworker， or family member， 'If I could make one change that could make your life better for you， what would it be？' （p。226）" I truly endeavor to put this one quote into practice。"。。。love leads to success （p。225）。""Love takes effort but the dividends are enormous （p。224）。""。。。three laws for success in business。。。People love to buy anything， especially if they like the person who is selling it to them。。。。You build relationships one conversation at a time。。。Know your customers and selling your product will take care of itself （p。220）。""。。。newly single parent be very selective in making new friends。 The safest source of love is from long-term friends or members of the extended family。 A single parent who tries to satisfy the need for love in an irresponsible manner can end up with tragedy upon tragedy （p。215）。" This was such a sobering quote。 Jesus is my source of love， and the friends I have now are my best friends。"。。。single parents before administering discipline。。。speak the love language of your child。 Then after the discipline。。。give an additional expression of love （p。213）。""。。。a child is less likely to misbehave if the love tank is full （p。213）。" 。。。more

Definitely glad that I read this book。 I will be referring back to it often。 I think that I know what my love language is， but I want to take the assessment and see if it agrees with me。 I also see some of the practices being easier said than done。 At least for the person that I am and how I grew up。 It will take some stretching and growing to fully embrase the ideas presented in this book。

There are one on one conversations with people the author councils; the stories and methods explained are more fitting for unmarried couple。 I like how the first stages of a relationship are also highlighted; In this edition the rest are covered: the largest numbers of singles are those who have never been down the aisle。 But the other four groups are also included。 Here are the five groups:1。tNever married。2。tDivorced。3。tSeparated but not divorced。4。tWidowed。5。tSingle parents。After reading this There are one on one conversations with people the author councils; the stories and methods explained are more fitting for unmarried couple。 I like how the first stages of a relationship are also highlighted; In this edition the rest are covered: the largest numbers of singles are those who have never been down the aisle。 But the other four groups are also included。 Here are the five groups:1。tNever married。2。tDivorced。3。tSeparated but not divorced。4。tWidowed。5。tSingle parents。After reading this second book， I’m totally psyched to pick up the next one which is “The 5 Love Languages of Children”。 。。。more

not just for singles ;） an easy read， it gave me a new perspective on friendships and other relationships in my life。 also made me think of ways I can show love to people around me which I think everyone walking on this earth should do more of

Better late than never I get so excited to tell someone about one of the five love language books to just find out they already read it。 Please no worries I put the strategies into practice and constantly see the fruits of my labor。 Recommend。

Worth reading， really helped understand relationships in a whole new light

This book progresses from improving relationships with the parents， with siblings， then finally to coworkers and romantic partners。 The main epistemological yield is expressed through stories of Chapman’s experience working as a relationship counselor。tThe book very successfully defines the social paradigm of moderate Christianity that is guaranteed to come across well to any Christian westerner， and it will not get you locked up。 It will keep you away form the po-po。 It will keep you away from This book progresses from improving relationships with the parents， with siblings， then finally to coworkers and romantic partners。 The main epistemological yield is expressed through stories of Chapman’s experience working as a relationship counselor。tThe book very successfully defines the social paradigm of moderate Christianity that is guaranteed to come across well to any Christian westerner， and it will not get you locked up。 It will keep you away form the po-po。 It will keep you away from the Five-O。 It will keep you away from the therapy sessions and the M。D。s， and then you are free to do your own ‘thang，’ braddah。 At the bench press。 Because that’s where you belong。 。。。more

Christina Onunu ，

I appreciate it。I ENJOYED reading this book and plan to reread this book again。 I will recommend this book to others， probably on social media。

Carrie Kish ，

I hated the Christianity throughout the book it had some good content but it was surrounded by religion

Learning from a master of manipulation。This is a great way to manipulate people while still making them feel good。 Chapman makes it clear on how to "speak a love language" with minimal effort and without actually listening to or caring about the other person。 Learning from a master of manipulation。This is a great way to manipulate people while still making them feel good。 Chapman makes it clear on how to "speak a love language" with minimal effort and without actually listening to or caring about the other person。 。。。more

The author’s view of relationships is overly idealistic， and quite frankly naïve。 He would have you believe that all relationship problems come down to a single ingredient: expressing love in a way that the other person understands。 That is not only untrue， in some cases it can be very dangerous （as in life-threatening）。 You should never encourage someone to stay in a toxic relationship by “serving” their partner more， simply because love will make everything right！I get that he’s peddling his p The author’s view of relationships is overly idealistic， and quite frankly naïve。 He would have you believe that all relationship problems come down to a single ingredient: expressing love in a way that the other person understands。 That is not only untrue， in some cases it can be very dangerous （as in life-threatening）。 You should never encourage someone to stay in a toxic relationship by “serving” their partner more， simply because love will make everything right！I get that he’s peddling his personal philosophy here， but after reading the same story over and over， with clearly made-up dialogue （eg。 I’ve never heard anyone use the term “love tank，” yet everyone in his stories spontaneously blurts it out）， that ends with the same conclusion every single time （the author patting himself on the back）， it gets irritating fast。And similar to one of his clients， I am highly unimpressed with his counseling method of pushing his book on his clients， telling them they will find the answers to all of life’s problems inside。 We get it， you’re proud of your book， and you want to get rich。 Fine。 Now go do some real counseling。Case in point: he overtly complains about someone going on too long about her issues after she came to him for help！ That really tells you all you need to know about this guy。 And given that he describes people in sexually abusive relationships as “desperate，” it troubles me to think that he is an actual counselor。Also not impressed with the Christian indoctrination and pontification。 Just jump to the References section and count all the Bible references。 The author is extremely judgmental and narrow-minded， with bleak， antiquated， and insulting opinions about singlehood。 In fact， you will find that when he refers to “singles，” he means “unmarried couples” （who， by definition， are not single， but whatever）。 As such， this book is meant to help dating couples get married。 It is NOT intended for what most of us think of as “singles。”It is also NOT for gays， trans， lesbians， or anyone who isn’t cisgender/hetero。 The author views marriage as a sacred religious institution strictly between a man and a woman for the glory of God， and a necessary step towards achieving happiness。 In his eyes， there is no point being in a relationship if you don’t ultimately seek marriage。 Worse than that， you should be condemned for it， for you are a sinner。 In his view， intimacy does not exist outside marriage， and unmarried people are inherently cheaters。There are more ludicrous notions being put forth， like it being your “responsibility” to not only love and forgive your parents no matter how they treated you your entire childhood， but also to put in the time and effort to make them into better people。 The list goes on。 It just feeds into the author’s narrative that all responsibility falls on the victim’s shoulders rather than on the abuser’s。 The author is a shameless victim-blamer， and his views are extremely harmful。 It’s absolutely disgusting。The second half of the book becomes increasingly heavy-handed with the sermoning and condescension， and I just couldn’t stand it anymore。 I do suggest you search for and read a summary somewhere， because the core idea is important and will help you in your daily life。 But stay away from this book at all cost。 。。。more

Erste Hälfte des Buchs interessant und plausibel， der Rest konnte mich nicht wirklich überzeugen。 Besonders der Teil， indem es um das "Ziel" Heirat （natürlich jemand vom anderen Geschlecht） ging。 Ein Tick besser war dann wieder das Kapitel， in dem es um die Verbesserung in generellen Beziehungen （Freunde， Kollegen） ging。 Erste Hälfte des Buchs interessant und plausibel， der Rest konnte mich nicht wirklich überzeugen。 Besonders der Teil， indem es um das "Ziel" Heirat （natürlich jemand vom anderen Geschlecht） ging。 Ein Tick besser war dann wieder das Kapitel， in dem es um die Verbesserung in generellen Beziehungen （Freunde， Kollegen） ging。 。。。more

I've already read both The 5 Love Languages and The 5 Love Languages for Children， so I don't find that this version added anything new。 If you haven't read the first books， I would recommend this for sure。 I've already read both The 5 Love Languages and The 5 Love Languages for Children， so I don't find that this version added anything new。 If you haven't read the first books， I would recommend this for sure。 。。。more

I really enjoyed learning about the 5 love languages。 I see how past situations in my life could have been different。 I will definitely use this in my life now

I listened to the audiobook version of this title。 I first listened to this book 4 years ago。 I needed to know how to relate to my mother。 She has since passed。 I now Care for my autistic sister full time and this book （which I should have revisited sooner）， has highlighted （& reminded me） of our primary and secondary love languages。 This information is now going to help me be a better Carer to my sister。 I’m grateful for that！ When relationship dynamics change， it’s always worth revisiting this I listened to the audiobook version of this title。 I first listened to this book 4 years ago。 I needed to know how to relate to my mother。 She has since passed。 I now Care for my autistic sister full time and this book （which I should have revisited sooner）， has highlighted （& reminded me） of our primary and secondary love languages。 This information is now going to help me be a better Carer to my sister。 I’m grateful for that！ When relationship dynamics change， it’s always worth revisiting this book。 。。。more

Lillianna Drye ，

I honestly believe this is a great book for everyone from older teens to long-time married couples！ We can love each other best whenever we begin to understand them and understand the way they feel love。 Even coming from a healthy family， I have found The Five Love Languages has helped me build even better relationships with my friends and family and better understand the needs of myself and others。

Joanne ，

My main gripe about this book is how shallow the author actually goes into this concept。 Language has more to it than just vocabulary-it has syntax， it has mood， it has wit。 The vocabulary is there pretty clearly but don’t expect any strategy in learning how to “speak another person’s love language。” Also beware the Churchy lingo。 That being said， it’s a nice read and I’m glad I took the time to go through it。

Sara ，

Helpful tips and tricks for better communication with anyone。

I learnt a lot with reading （listening as audiobook） about my friends， family and myself。 I discovered what my love language is。 It was really interesting to find out all these things about the 5 love languages。

Kristie ，

Very informative and explained why I gravitate to certain people and why my middle son is my favorite child。

Another book from mom， sorry mom :（I may actually finish this in the future， it's not all that bad。 I think the main thing for me is it just goes on and on about things and seems to say essentially the same thing。 But again， the chapters aren't too long so it's not just rambling the whole time。 Another book from mom， sorry mom :（I may actually finish this in the future， it's not all that bad。 I think the main thing for me is it just goes on and on about things and seems to say essentially the same thing。 But again， the chapters aren't too long so it's not just rambling the whole time。 。。。more

Overall good and quick read。 I love the 5 Language concept。 The book would have received a higher rating had I read the original book first。

Lena Yen ，

this is so much more Christian than the married edition lol， basically 5 love languages can be applied to everyday relationships， not just married couples

Rose ，

5 stars for the content & 3。5 stars for how it was all strung together。 I also felt there was room to go deeper and include more ways/tools to help those less familiar with each of the love languages weave them into their lives。 Love the concept though ！

Interesting take on how to I identify your live language as well as others to live a happier life。 Love languages can be used in all our relationships not just with partners。 One to grow on。

I loved learning more about the 5 love languages。 A few years ago I read the original version of the book but since I'm still single I was really interested in learning more about how to use them in other relationships。 This book is full of real stories and good examples on how to use the love languages and how to find out which language fits others。 It's a great book if you want to deepen the relationships you have with friends， parents and/or co-workers。 It's also great to know for future roma I loved learning more about the 5 love languages。 A few years ago I read the original version of the book but since I'm still single I was really interested in learning more about how to use them in other relationships。 This book is full of real stories and good examples on how to use the love languages and how to find out which language fits others。 It's a great book if you want to deepen the relationships you have with friends， parents and/or co-workers。 It's also great to know for future romantic relationships。 。。。more
