Great book to read to keep passion and understanding alive in all of your relationships. Simple concepts put in a thought provoking manner. Helps me understand how to tell people how I would like to be treated too.

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

It was interesting...

Πώς είναι να καθαρίζεις κρεμμύδια και να πλένεις τα πιάτα και στο βάθος να παίζει επανάληψη το Κωνσταντίνου και Ελένης; Κάτι τέτοιο αλλα σε βιβλίο/audiobook.

Μια απ'τα ίδια σε σχέση με το πρώτο 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts αλλά ατ δι εντ οβ δε ντέι, πολύ χριστιανικό - καν' την προσευχή σου και τρώε το φαγί σου - για τα γούστα μου.
Δεν ξέρω σε ποιο παράλληλο σύμπαν ζει ο καλλιτέχνης όπου οι νέοι παντρεύονται αμέσως μόλις τελειώσουν το κολέγιο, λατρεύουν τους γονείς τους, πάνε τακτικά στην εκκλησία και κανείς δεν έχει ουσιαστική ρήξη με κανένα. Μπορεί να είναι Amish ξερωγώ και έτσι να λειτουργούν τα πράγματα στην αμερικανική επαρχία αλλά όπως και να'χει, δεν ταυτίστηκα.

Did you know that this author is also the author of 5 Languages of Love for married people? Wouldn’t have picked that up without it being referred to in EVERY SINGLE chapter. The worst self help book I’ve ever read, even worse than the one written by the rich white lady who just didn’t dance enough.

At the beginning I really enjoyed it. There were some examples, a little discussion, but as the book continued the author just kept on referring to college students and giving them advice, then them coming back and being like YOU ARE RAD. Often there were tears involved, or people being taken back by his wild suggestions.

My recommendation, just read a Wikipedia article on the 5 languages of love instead. While concept is actually amazing, and something to think about, the examples are just too long winded (probably to pad out the word count). Also, the reference sections lacks a lot of credentials that aren’t his other book or the bible. If you still wanna read this, search online. I read it for free on some PDF website

The core information is invaluable but I would have like more ideas for figuring out another person's love language, especially in business situations and in the early stages of a dating relationship.

The information is good and gives an alternative way to look at intimate relationships. The religious component was distracting as was the fact that the author narrated the audiobook. His strong Southern accent detracted from his message.

I loved this book. I think it's a great idea for married couples to read it for a refresher on being a good spouse! It explains your spouse's viewpoint and gives insight as to why you may not be as happy as you could be.

It is a really interesting concept-that all of us have a specific language that speaks more loudly to us (words, touch, quality time, gifts, and actions). Gets a bit too wordy at times (wanted to reach in and shake the point out). Good point though, if you want someone to feel completely loved and understood it is best to speak their love language and vice versa.

This is a solid book. If you've read one of the other love language books, this won't be anything very different, except Chapman applied it more to singles and those dating.
As with all his books I've read, it has helpful information but gets repetitive.

I think EVERYONE should read one of The Five Languages of Love books. This book has the power to enhance every relationship in your life - friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers alike. I learned an unexpected amount about myself and the way I feel love and express love and how to show love to others in the way they best receive it. The book is written by a minister and talks a bit about Christian values and bible scriptures... It didn't turn me off to the book at all, it was just kind of weird... didn't really know how to process information about religion without being raised with other previous knowledge of the subject. Don't worry - next project is to complete the 2 books on world religions that I purchased last weekend. :)

When I was finished with this book, I felt as if everyone I know should read it or another version of it (not necessarily the "Singles" version.)

This book not only will undoubtedly help me understand future relationships, but it had me stop and examine the love languages of every member of my family, close friend.. I even went through and examined the love languages of colleagues. A total "a ha" moment was when I looked at the love languages of my parents. Prior behavior which I, at times, felt were smothering or controlling, weren't that at all - they were truly my parents acting out in their own love languages. Similarly, I saw how my own personal need for words of affirmation, and ways that I felt discouraged in the past, were because of others not speaking in my love language.

I thought back to failed relationships and saw how I may not have been speaking that person's love language - but ultimately, how they were not speaking mine. It helped me to realize that people may not always be intentionally hurting me with their words; they are simply just not speaking my love language or understanding how they make me feel.

If nothing else, this was a fantastic book on the human psychological condition and deepening your ability to relate to other people and understand both them and ourselves. Add in the fact that it's a Christian book based on Godly principles, and I think that the Christian reader pulls even more out of it than the non-Christian. Either way, I truly feel that anyone (Christian or non-Christian) looking to have a deeper understanding of their interpersonal relationships should definitely take the time to read this book and take the concepts to heart. It can definitely be relationship changing.
