This book is a very helpful book for men just entering a relationship or men who have been in a relationship for a long time and have not discovered their primary love languages. Dr. Chapman does a great job delving into each of the five primary languages and describing how the actions performed in each language speaks volumes to your significant other. He also hit on two key things for me: how to respond to anger in a relationship and how to apologize effectively in a relationships. Apologizing in general has always been a struggle for me and I had no idea that, like there are 5 love languages, there are also languages of apologizing that may communicate your apology in a better way. This really opened my eyes and I hope I can be more effective in communicating the genuineness of apologies in the future. I would recommend this book to anyone in a relationship, especially those that are struggling in communicating love to their significant others.

Clear path to living your wife

This book gets right down to the heart of us men and pulls no punches. He helps us view our wives in healthy, biblical ways and gives us practical was to love our wives the way they deserve to be loved.

There are some very good ideas and tools that can really improve your relationships in this book.

However, I feel like the male audience the authour had in mind when writing this was composed of nothing but crude homer simpson/peter griffin-esque caricatures, mostly from the overabundance of sports analogies.

This book is definitely out of touch with the amount of suggestions/examples that involve church-going.

Also, I really wish Chapman would consider unmarried men in a relationship and gay men in a relationship, even if only in a tokenistic way. This book is offputting to read when I keep hearing "my wife" mentioned (I don't have one, only a girlfriend).

The basic message of this book is a lot of people work very hard to be good spouses and they're doing things their spouse doesn't value. Figure out what your spouse really cares about and focus on that. Don't focus on your needs, and if you meet the needs of your spouse then they'll be more receptive to yours. They'll either know them already or you'll be able to talk to them.

While a lot of the examples in the book seem painfully obvious, there's definitely some things I can take away. Observe, listen, serve, understand. Make sure what you're doing is what your spouse actually wants, not what you think they want.

This isn't a 10 step guide to feeling like a teenager, drunk on love, for the next 40 years of your life. It can help a lot, though, and at least get you on the right path.

Except for the cover and the suggestions at the end of each chapter that are catered to men, this book seems to be identical to the original The Five Love Languages. I'm okay with this, since I was due for a reread anyway, and since I spent $1 on this copy at Goodwill, but I'd be pretty upset if I had made any significant investment, expecting to receive insights unique to this version.

Karantinas. Kone kasdien pasilikdamas namuose turiu kiek daugiau laiko knygų skaitymui, todėl pasistengsiu Jus pradžiuginti ir dažniau išleidžiamomis apžvalgomis.

Šiandien aptarsiu knygą "Penkios vyrų meilės kalbos", kurią parašė santykių ekspertas ir netobulų porų konsultantas Gary Chapmanas, išvien dirbdamas su rašytoju Randy Southernu. Šios knygos leidykla man nesiuntė, niekas neprašė jos recenzuoti. Į mano rankas ji pateko netikėtai - gavau pastarąją dovanų nuo savo antrosios pusės. Ir susimąsčiau, kad tai gali kažką reikšti. Gal tai - subtili aliuzija?
Ar tai buvo netiesioginis merginos skatinimas pasitempti, išsiaiškinau tik perskaitęs kūrinį. Nesigilinsiu į detales, tačiau visi be išimties turime kur tobulėti.

Šįkart kalbėsiu su skaitytoju kaip vyras su vyru (kad ir kaip banaliai tai skambėtų), nes ši knyga skirta būtent vyrams. TAČIAU nesupraskite manęs neteisingai - penkios meilės kalbos lieka penkiomis meilės kalbomis, nepriklausomai nuo žmogaus lyties ar amžiaus, ir norint geriau perprasti kiekvieną iš šių kalbų bei išsiaiškinti, kokia kalba kalba Jūsų antroji pusė, knyga pravers tiek vyrui, tiek moteriai. Žinoma, moterys gali rinktis universaliąją "Penkios meilės kalbos", tačiau "Penkios vyrų meilės kalbos" taip pat gali skaityti tiek vyras, tiek moteris. Kiekvienas nesunkiai atsirinks būtent jam aktualią informaciją.

Šis leidinys priklauso kur kas didesnei "Penkios meilės kalbos" knygų grupei, kurioje aptariamos vienišių, vyrų, moterų, vaikų, paauglių meilės kalbos, mokoma tinkamai atsiprašyti suklydus ir t.t. Šiai grupei, beje, priklauso daugiau nei tuzinas knygų.

Veikale aptariamas ir itin detaliai išnarpliojamas visas penketas meilės kalbų, kiekviena jų mokoma bendrauti su savo mylimąja, o svarbiausia tai, kad knygos dėka tampa kur kas lengviau diagnozuoti, kuria meilės kalba turėtume su savo moterimi kalbėtis. Čia taip pat rasime ir testą, kurio dėka galėsime nusistatyti, kokia meilės kalba abiems partneriams suprantamiausia. Autoriai taip pat kalba ir apie poras, kurios kreipėsi į juos, prašydamos pagalbos, anonimiškai papasakoja jų istorijas, taip pateikdamas realius pavyzdžius, įrodančius, jog knygoje aprašomi metodai yra veiksmingi.

Manau, kad knyga yra aktuali visiems - vienišiems, įsimylėjusiems, susituokusiems, turintiems vaikų ar beplanuojantiems jų susilaukti, stovintiems ant skyrybų slenksčio ir nebežinantiems, kaip išsaugoti santykius... Visi be išimties turime kur tobulėti kaip vyrai savo žmonoms, vaikinai savo merginoms ar tėvai savo vaikams. Nuu arba kaip vaikinai savo vaikinams bei merginos savo merginoms - čia kiekvieno asmeninis pasirinkimas, tačiau point'as tas, kad knyga tinka VISIEMS. Darnūs santykiai esti kiekvieno siekiamybė, praskaidrinanti gyvenimą, apsauganti nuo bereikalingų pykčių ar net skyrybų, pripildanti širdis gėrio bei šilumos.

Perskaitę šį kurinį neabejotinai rasime kažką, kas padės pasijusti geriau Jūsų mylimoms moterims, o kai gera joms, gera ir Jums. Knyga padės įnešti į tarpusavio santykius daugiau šilumos bei santarvė, geriau suprasti vienas kito poreikius. To dėka puikiai jausitės tiek Jūs pats, tiek ir Jūsų išrinktoji.

Knygai rašau aukščiausią įvertinimą - tai galbūt nebus pati įdomiausia Jūsų skaityta knyga, galbūt nerasite kvapą gniaužiančio veiksmo ir pasaulį gelbėjančių superherojų, tačiau leidinys neabejotinai suteiks naudos Jūsų santykiams, o to pasekoje asmeninis gyvenimas ims kur kas labiau džiuginti.

Knygą 2019 metais išleido leidykla "Alma Littera".

Very practical and effective, however, ignores the picture of marriage as Christ and the Church. It gets closest to this when it encourages men to keep loving their wife in their language even if it doesn’t get reciprocated. That said, the principle of loving your wife in the most effective way is clearly communicated throughout the book.

Short, sharp, and contains some pretty handy info about how different people may communicate their love with one another. Some of the references to partners are a little antiquated (consistently “wife” or “husband”), and there are a couple of smaller stereotypes in there, but as long as you can hurdle those the advise is sound and worth the read.

Came recommended, and did not disappoint.

First, this book was hard to listen to. It’s written for the white, Christian, heterosexual male living in the 1980s. It definitely didn’t stand up to the test of time. My husband and I were both grossed out by so many old fashion views. This is the main reason for my low rating.

Second, I’m honestly not sure I buy into this theory. I didn’t hear any actual science behind it. I’m probably not alone in feeling like a few of these “love languages” were important to me, but I also noticed that it’s missing some important other items on how you feel loved, like being seen and validated or treated like an individual that matters. None of the acts described in the love languages are valid if they aren’t done with sincerity and customized to how the individual thinks and feels. He does mention that a little but then goes on to give lists of what you should do for your partner under each love language. I’m just not sure this is the end-all, couple problem fixer like he tries to sell it as.
