Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice. How do you discover your spouse's - and your own - love language? Chapman's short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage. Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like -hoping the feelings of affection will follow later- a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort. "Love is a choice," says Chapman. "And either partner can start the process today." --Cindy Crosby. This text refers to the Amazon.com Exclusive Journal & Paperback Book Set.

 Great book for couples May 19, 2008
My husband and I are going through this book with other couples. It has been very helpful! The copy we got did not include the study guide so if you want one with the study guide, make sure you look closely if you are buying online.
Life-changing May 16, 2008
We read this book in a marriage bible-study group after 18 years of marriage. We wish that someone had given us this book when we were engaged so that we could start off our marriage with a better appreciation of how to love each other better. This is a simple, yet amazing book that will enrich your life and your marriage.
CAN'T RECOMMEND ENOUGH!!! May 10, 2008
Oh. My. Gosh!!! This book was a life-changer for us. Totally put perspective into the different needs each of us has in order to feel loved and secure. It teaches it really well and helps you see how to love your spouse better. Then, we started applying it to our relationship with our parents and in-laws, our children, friends from church...etc. It is an amazing eye-opener and gives you so much freedom and power to love people better!! Also, to feel more loved yourself.
