Labai lengva paaiškinti, kodėl šita knyga (ar visa serija, kaip ją reikėtų vadinti) tokia populiari: duoda labai struktūruotus ir trumpus atsakymus/pamokymus kaip veikia santykiai. Bėda, jog čia visiškai false knowledge, sakyčiau, gali žalos daugiau padaryti nei naudos.

Priežastis, kodėl 2*, o ne 1*, tai šiek tiek pamąstymų sukelia ir verčia pagalvoti kai kuriais klausimais, tai tiek tos ir vertės.

As a guy, I felt this was a much better book than the original. It's arguable whether the original needed to be a precursor or not necessary. Explanations and examples specifically for men was more insightful for me. As opposed to knowing your own language of desired getting and giving bit also the critical need for being bilingual, knowing all about hers. I'll stop not to give spoilers of many 'ah-hahs' you'll experience.

You know what, this is a great book serving as an introduction to emotional intelligence for (primarily) men and others who may have not learned these things in the past. I don't think I have a primary love language (which he kind of explains) but this gives so many great ideas to help affirm relationships.

I know, I know, the men's edition? It's what was available. Really, it's the same information.

It shed some light on things I have struggled with.

*you don’t need to be a dude to read this edition*
I picked it up out of curiosity of how Chapman talked to males regarding the 5 Love languages. I wanted to understand how a man might approach his wife and if my mate would benefit from this book. The subject itself is gender neutral. The book has a slight lean towards the man but nothing that takes away from the message.
If your married I think this book would greatly benefit the marriage. Love is a choice you intend to choose errrrrday when you make the vows of marriage.

Nice and easy read. Though it caters to a Christian crowd, the information is universal. What I like about the author is he’s straightforward and offers multiple examples for finding your love language and fulfilling your partner’s love language. To summarize, love is like an oil tank in a car. The oil in it will decrease no matter what. You have to maintenance the tank regularly in order to remain maintain a healthy vehicle(relationship). Love takes consistent work. That’s what makes it worth it. In the past, I found it difficult to verbally express my feelings, so Gary’s guide on Words of Affirmation really helps. The chapter on finding your partner’s love language was great too.

Words of affirmation:
- pick one thing every fews day to specifically compliment her on.
- Borrow positive message from gift cards that specifically convey your feelings for her if needed.
- Admit faults in an introspective way
Quality Time:
- Undivided attention when spending time together.
- Eye contact during conversation
- Only give advice when asked
- Do not express frustration
- Do not interrupt
- Keep track of feelings in notebook. Event/Feelings 3x per day
Gift giving
- One per week if this is their love language
- Symbolic gifts
- Surprises
- Gifts that compliment hobbies/other gifts
Acts of Service
- Make a list of things that the other could do to make you happy. Vice versa
Physical Touch
- Embrace the embrace
- Make it a point to touch multiple times a day
- Offer activities that involve touch
- Embrace partner’s pet ownership
- Take care of her when she’s sick

Figure out love languages together
- Write down love languages in order of importance to you.
- Remember what partner did that made you fall in love
- Sit with partner and tell them what you believe is their love language. Listen closely to their response/input.
- Tank check: on a scale of 0-10, what is your love tank on? Then ask what you can do to increase the number.

Choose love: when angry about a past discretion, choose love. Past is the past

Every married (or engaged) man needs to read this book. I plan on reading it yearly to keep me reminded of the core teachings about the ways that I love my wife and the ways she feels loved.
