My Thoughts on "The Five Love Languages"


An awesome and easy read. Gary Chapman truly breaks down in detail the characteristics of what he calls the 5 Love Languages. He has determined that everyone has a primary love language, the way they receive love. He offers exercises and real life examples to help you determine the love language of you and your mate. The pieces really seemed to fit together, often times people feel they lose the initial passion and connection as the relationship progresses. Chapman believes this is because we are not communicating in each others language. Personally I was very surprised, what I initially determined my love language to be was incorrect. After further thought and meditation I identified the moments in my life where I felt the most loved, and they were completely different from my initial guess.

I encourage you to read this book and take the time to explore your language and the language of those you love. If your intent is to give love, then why not do so effectively?

Words of Affirmation
