⭐I was once asked to read this book by the only person in the world I love…..I refused. At the time I figured it to be some shrinks opinion on how we should all be in our relationships….what the hell does he know I thought…..what if he is wrong and my future wife bases our whole future on just what he says…..I imagined this book to be some guy with opinions on how to fix problems that he knows nothing about because he doesn’t know “us”. It’s not a good feeling as a man to agree to read a book on relationships because you feel like you’re putting everything into the authors hands…..and what if he “doesn’t understand” or what if the advice doesn’t apply to us…..what if it makes things worse between us because he advises things we don’t believe in…..no….I’m not reading that I told her.I thought no matter what we would always figure each other out and we would be ok……I didn’t see being asked to read this book , was a cry out from the woman I love hitting a boiling point and her attempt to communicate to me in a different way……the same things she’s been trying to for a long time…..Being close minded that day costed me so much regret and misery….I used to wake up to the most beautiful smile in the world and now I don’t….I recently ended up reading this book and I couldn’t put it down….sounds crazy but it’s true. Instead of being some guys opinions or……typical shrink talk that in no way could apply to each specific relationship…….I found it to be a book that opens up the mind to the understanding of love…..and how it is not this one universal “language” we all feel we should be the same with…..I once told her….”nobody taught me how to love, I’m growing….learning”…..I pleased with her to understand I love her…….we simply didn’t have an understanding of how and why we didnt approach love the exact same way as each other…..only makes sense that it should be the same right? You bicker and argue and it drives you crazy……why doesn’t she understand you think…….the book is not an excuse to use or justify a true bad relationship let me add…..but it truly answers so many questions…..it is really a language of love. Once understood, this book leaves you feeling like a fool and only wanting to apply so much of what you’ve now learned to your future together. It takes away the work of trying to understand the things that at the time make no sense…..and allows you to focus on what’s important….loving instead of wasting precious time. Read it carefully and I recommend reading it together…..I didn’t get that chance but I can guarantee reading this book with who you love will allow you both to stop frequently throughout the pages and talk,learn,smile, probably cry…..but then go on to a much happier fulfilling life together once the book is closed. It can save so much if you only let it.*Update 12-1-17I drive a bus so I have nothing but time to think as I look out the window and look up at the sky looking around me. You would probably think of screaming kids and noise but for me it is driving in my own little world and using time to think about lifeI am a trainer so I spend my time trying to help people learn how to maintain their body and prevent problems. And the funny thing is that it is are very choices of what we do to our own bodies that I am teaching to have to change. All of our problems nutritionally and physically and even mentally come down too poor choice and repetitive habits that we know we need to change but never do until it’s too late. Every single person reading this can relate to thatMy point about what I do is that I spend a lot of time trying to fix my body because professionals out there either won’t take the time to do it or I don’t have the money to spend on who is needed. I have spent countless months doing stretches and exercises and what I have found is a lot of times I’m doing the exact same stretches and exercises that don’t seem to be working. Soooo……why not do different ones then right…… what a lot of reasons it may feel good, you may not know any other stretches or exercises, you may simply believe that if I just do it one more time again tomorrow….THAT it will finally help….. you just believe in that stretch so much that in your mind you just say I’ll keep trying. You are maybe even making things worse by this but you’re honest to God intentions are to completely cure one of the biggest problems in your life, pain…… I think you see where I’m getting at.Getting a little long for whoever is reading but there is a lot of meaning here that can help who knows thousands of people as long as this review remains online……I will just end it like this….. last night I took a stretch that I have been doing for over 2 years and I changed it in a slightly different way……. a lot of the pain I normally get daily is gone…….just to put a spotlight on that sentence …..I’m saying that what I had been doing for so long….. trying to cure one of the biggest problems in my life that hadnt been working…………that I continued doing…….. believing in and depending on…. to be my much needed answer…….It wasn’t until I allowed the idea of the same stretch applied in a different way, that I ALLOWED life to be better for me.I did not say this stretch doesn’t matter anymore and say forget it to never exist again…..no, I used it to COMMUNICATE with my body in the same exact physical form….just different language from mind to body….because I always believed in it.Belief can be amazing and help you….it also can be your own worst enemy when refuse to change your ways…..lots of time I lost believing my way instead of another…..all while would have given anything to accomplish my goal……once again I stood in my own way……but I didn’t give up…..otherwise pain would still be here and I wouldn’t have came on here to add all these thoughts.You have to go into the book with an open mind because if you do it with the mindset of wanting it to say what it is that you want to hear…..then you can never let the life-changing words happen…….you’re learning a language as you read…not what’s right and wrong but what was being lost in life.Keep in mind this is a book about the language of love so if you think about when you go to school to learn a different language…you are taking the difficult step of taking time there in order to understand…..be able to take what you understand and apply it…..and be able to communicate in a NEEDED way once you learn….AND THEN USE……communicate and UNDERSTAND eachother.Just think how you feel when you meet somebody and you want to communicate but you can’t and you get frustrated. you are trying to figure out what you want the other person to know and they’re trying to tell or show you….. it becomes stressful and sometimes you end up walking away from each other never knowing the real meaning that was right there between the two of you. When you are able to speak the same language this simply does not happen…..The same two people if we’re able to learn the same language, could come back in front of one another again and…..just imagine……imagine the possibilities with that communication…….so much never lost again.The exact same message and the exact same feelings that were always there, except now instead of the stress of not understanding, there is the excitement for anything to be possible just by coming together and understanding…..The power of language is amazing……..think of when you meet somebody and they’re able to speak five or six different languages, you are in awe and wish you could do it.well imagine being able to speak the one language in life that is the most unexplainable, powerful language and meaning of life, love….I would also like to mention the fact that if these two people sat down and learn each other’s languages together how helpful that is…..and how much easier it is to be able to learn how to communicate with the exact person that you’re trying to ……..spending time helping each other learn different languages…….TOGETHER.Bus is parked.

⭐You probably don’t know as much about love as you think you do. This book shows you how you perceive and give love, and how others around you do the same in their own way. This book will be a gift to all I love! I recommend and gift it often. I have read and listened to it through audio a number of times. Eye opener!

⭐This book is really easy to read and gave me an opportunity to approach my husband about our langage of love and how we manage our emotional needs. I was able to identify how I can improve my communication and action to reflect my love for him daily.It’s a great tool. There’s some approach missing in the book and give me an opportunity to read more about it. This book it’s also a good way to start the process of healing and self-awareness.

⭐I bought this for a friend of mine that recently got married. I feel it’s very important to learn your spouses love language, it truly helps your marriage flourish.

⭐This book is full of wonderful information for any couple no matter how long they been married. I would definitely suggest it for those newly married but like I said it absolutely awesome for any marriage.

⭐This book was an easy and great book to read. I was worried I was going to have to reread every page to understand it, but I didn’t have to. I truly believe this book is a marriage saver!

⭐Me and my husband both got this book as part of our homework from a therapist and it is absolutely the best. It teaches you different love languages and help you figure your own out. I would recommend that all married, engaged or even single people read this we love it.

⭐This book is both interesting and insightful. There’s a high probability it will change your life. Sincerely.I wish I’d read it years ago.

⭐Seems written by a church relationship minister type person, who has no training, no critical thought, and no evidence-base.You would be better served by googling the 5 love languages, considering them for a second, then moving on to better things.His evidence is literally “a couple came to me and the woman said she needed more physical intimacy, so physical intimacy is a love language”. Repeat this another 4 times. That is the book.There are other, evidence-based relationship books out there. Read those.

⭐I had to check twice that this was written in 1992 and not 1962. It is written exclusively for married heterosexual couples. Not at all relevant to today’s world. I was interested to find out what the love languages were and wish I’d heeded the review that said just Google them! There are loads of bible references and examples that scrape far too close to being dangerously sexist. There is one woman who is married to a vile man who may never change and the author basically says she should bend to his every will. Never once does he say that if the vile husband doesn’t start speaking her love language that she should then leave him. He just quotes the Bible. Urgh, it’s awful. Steer well clear.

⭐This is one of those rare books that transcends others. 5 stars doesn’t even come close!A friend recommended this to me. I shan’t reveal why he’d come to read the book, needless to say he spoke very highly of it. He was right, it is genuinely life changing. The way you think about everyone (not only your girlfriend, boyfriend, wife or husband, but your friends, children, parents, the lot!) can be altered dramatically if you give it a chance. It’s aimed at helping you improve your marriage, but in my opinion it does that and much more besides.It should be entitled – “Everything your parents didn’t teach to in preparation for life – because they didn’t know it either”.It’s not perfect; the author is clearly a) American and b) a devout Christian. He mentions the American Dream and Church attendance more than once in the book. You have to accept this if you are neither of the above, foibles and all. It’s repetitive in places too (deliberately, I’d guess) and slightly pious, verging on self congratulatory at times (it IS written by an America don’t forget) but none of this should detract from an incredible read.Whether all of the content is the author’s own work or whether they’ve simply amalgamated a collection of other people’s thoughts and theories to form their own, I neither know nor care. The ideas are presented in a highly digestible and practical form which will provoke thought and good nature in all but the most cynical reader.If nothing else, it’s such good value that you’ve nothing to lose but a few hours of your life, with everything to gain if you approach the content with an open mind.Try it, you’ll not be sorry. Read it, remember it, live by it and teach it to your children.

⭐Get this book if you have any inclination to help your relationships along – be it with your partner, your kids or your friends.It made me understand better the things that were working reasonably well already and pin pointed the things that needed some attention. Encourage the important people in your life to read it too and life might take on a brighter look.

⭐I purchased this book because I wanted to learn more about relationships and how to better connect with my partner. I read it within a day (with a four-month-old baby in the house), and I found it accessible and interesting. The author describes the five different love languages with anecdotes and examples, and guides the reader how to decide what their own personal primary language is, as well as that of their partner. Once you know your love language, you’re able to better direct your partner how to love you in ways that make you feel loved. For example, my love language is Acts of Service, and that’s how I’ve always shown my love — doing things for people or taking care of things so they don’t have to. When those efforts are not reciprocated or particularly appreciated, it makes me feel upset. However, I never considered that to other people, those efforts are not what makes THEM feel loved, and it took this book to help that lightbulb go off. Now, I know that for different people, you must show them love in the way that they best like to receive it. I can’t wait to try it out on the people in my life. I’m planning to buy this book for several of my friends.
