Marriage should be based on love, right? But does it seem as though you and your spouse are speaking two different languages?

By learning the five love languages, you and your spouse will discover your unique love languages and learn practical steps in truly loving each other. Chapters are categorized by love language for easy reference, and each one ends with specific, simple steps to express a specific language to your spouse and guide your marriage in the right direction. A newly designed love languages assessment will help you understand and strengthen your relationship. You can build a lasting, loving marriage together.

I got this book from the library. It has over 3000 reviews on amazon so I thought it might be a good read for a good propose.

My sister gave my hubby and I this book over the holidays. We plan to read it together soon even though I have already read several chapters on my own ;)

My primary love language is Quality Time, I think. In close second is Acts of Service. I say, "I think" because it was very difficult for me to pick between the two in each set of the questionnaire. Did you find it hard?

Good suggestion, as it definitely is an interesting book! The tricky part? Trying to figure out which of your languages is yours... :) But in the end I narrowed it down to Physical Touch and Quality Time. Although Words of Affirmation really strikes true, too. It definitely helped me figure out what I need more of in a relationship.

That is a great book. Just curious if anyone feels like their language changed after trauma. Along with many other things including views of life and people, my "Love Language" was different afterwards.

This book was really helpful for my niece. When her mom died an her older brother and sister in law adopted her, it made the transition much easier for them to know what her love language was. It didn't hurt their marriage either. :-)

I really enjoyed this book. SO and I discussed it and now he is better at giving me what I need to feel loved. He is very quiet so was always second guessing my self before this book.
