There's a hard theme through this book of men needing to hear something from a male counselor that their wife has been telling them for years and the presumption that marriages should not end no matter what is going on.

I don't regret reading this for the sole, simple reason that it's helpful to remember that there are actually people who think like this. Full review www.goodreads.com/xtinalea

Gary so eloquently breaks down the different ways we all give and receive love - words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch - opening my eyes to all new levels of understanding in relationships....

So as I'm growing into adulthood, being single is now becoming a pain, given that I've only 1 friend and no one else to talk to.

So I've decided to try my hand at relationships(I like a girl, who likes me too, now I just need to ask her out).

But as a bookworm, my go-to place to learn is books, here was first of them. Waiting to read many more.

I guess it'll be quintessential and really helpfull. I hope it's helpful to someone extent atleast..

Last review of my vacation reads. This was also one I was reading for my coaching job because we can figure out the best way to coach someone if we can figure out their love language. I enjoyed it, but I also enjoy almost any psychological analysis especially how it affects relationships. I think it should be read by everyone in a meaningful relationship.

I believe this book is a good foundation. People do have different ways of expressing and wants when receiving affection. I don't think this is the holy grail, but it does open opportunities for dialogue between partners.
The issue is this field is never black and white, so I would invite you to read this with the idea to pull great suggestions vs. the end all be all. Incorporating this with attachment style would be helpful.

Self-Help, truth and tips. I loved this book! It is so easy to fall out of love, but even harder to stay in love. I can‘t wait to implement these new tips and tricks into my relationship and discover new things about myself and my spouse.
This is a must read for anybody, even if you aren‘t in a relationship.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

208 pages. This quarantine definitely took a toll on the relationship with my partner. I read the book and then yesterday we sat down on the bed, took a test together, and spent some time discussing what each language means and how we fill differently our love tanks. Totally worth it!

IuliaC This one is really useful! 🤩 4y

wanderinglynn I believe it. I think men in particular suffer from this because in many cultures, men are taught that certain emotions are a sign of weakness or are “feminine.” 4y
bibliobliss @wanderinglynn Yes, and it breaks my heart for them bc they often suffer in silence. The stigma is strong 4y

The book is fairly straightforward but gets you to consider things from other perspectives and may help with communication skills. Worth a read but not a game changer for me.

Now, I arrive at this book in the midst of a five-year relationship with a partner I hope to marry. No matter the stage, I have learned something about myself with every single read of this book and my relationships have blossomed because of it.

I‘ve taken the quiz and researched the concepts a little, so I decided to actually sit down and read the book. It wasn‘t bad. I think the framework can be VERY useful. But being published in 92, it is unsurprisingly heteronormative. And there was one chapter that could be easily read by victims of domestic abuse as “stay and just love your partner more!” (I don‘t think that‘s the intent, of course. But it felt a bit recklessly written.)

Este libro es interesante, mantiene información acerca de cómo identificar el lenguaje de amor predominante en las personas que nos rodean y diferentes maneras en cómo podemos comunicar amor de manera que sea entendible fortaleciendo así las relaciones que mantenemos con nuestros cónyuges, padres e hijos/as.

A good and quick read, even though I believe the author's view is a bit simplistic considering the enormous number of variables to be factored in human interactions i.e. mental health, financials, social background, personality, etc. Nonetheless, his views are helpful and would definitely help bringing intimacy back in a relationship. But it's not a 1 remedy to cure all diseases. Recommended.

This book was amazing. Even as someone who isnt married or in a relationship this was a very intresting and eye opening read. I think everyone should read this book. It definitely even helps with figuring out how you yourself feel. Also as someone who was in a relationship with someone who showed me no love language let alone my own I see what people crave and expect from their partners.

Prairiegirl_reading It‘s eye opening for sure. Helped me with my relationship with my mom actually. 5y

I got so much more out of the book than I did from the online test. However, I wish I had only read halfway. The last 1/4 seemed to veer into making the best of an abusive relationship and that did not sit well. My love language remains the same, and I now better understand the other 4, so glad I read it overall. Don't think I'll look any further though.

There are supplemental materials online that are helpful too.

⭐️⭐️ A friend encouraged me to take the Love Language Test. Being the bookworm that I am, instead of taking the test, I bought the book. I shoulda just taken the test. Not for me. #bookstagram #bookreview

Finally got my #therapy book review of this one done! In short, this is a great book for couples to learn how to show & recieve love in ways to maximize the love felt in a relationship. It‘s become a staple in my work w/ couples. I believe if you feel more loved it‘s easier to work on your relationship.

Lots of hype for this book. I really feel like this would only be helpful if both parties to a relationship read the book- otherwise, you are bearing the brunt of saving the relationship. And then you would resent the other person regardless. It was okay.

It‘s been far too long for me to go without my self-care Thursday. But it‘s finally here! Reading more on the 5 Love Languages to better help me work with couples. It‘s #selfcare meets #professionaldevelopment in #therapy! Yay!

QuoteQueen @thereadingowlvina this is my first! Though I‘ve had an idea what it‘s about I‘m really enjoying the book. It reads easy and is understandable. I look forward to sharing it with clients! I also plan to read others, especially the military one. 😊 6y

💙💙💙💙💙I believe this is definitely a must read for couples! This book made for rich discussion. It gave an avenue to talk about what you need from your spouse. This is not typically something couples talk about. My husband knows I love him dearly but to hear the ways in which he feels the most love made me understand him and out relationship better. If you want to sustain your marriage and help your love deepen, then this is the perfect tool!
