The Five Love Languages

The Five Love Languages: How To Express Heartfelt Commitment to your Mate by Gary Chapman is a book that talks about the different ways in which couples express and interpret love. The five love languages covered in this book are outlined as follows: spending quality time with each other, connecting through different acts of service, communicating through thoughtful gifts, using words of affirmation that lift the spirit, and communicating through physical touch. In his book, Chapman describes all these “love languages” in detail, while explaining how they can help in building a stronger man-woman relationship. The author’s take on the intricacies of relationships comes from his own personal experience, and from his career as a marriage counselor. Drawing conclusions from his extensive professional experience (of about 30 years), the author states in this book that every person has his or her own love language, and that usually, people are drawn to someone who speaks a different love language than theirs.
