The 5 Love Languages - A Book Review

Before our marriage my husband and I both read The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts by Gary Chapman. I strongly recommend engaged or even dating couples to read this book. It helps you discover what love language you and your spouse have and how to communicate in these love languages. If you are already married I'd still recommend it! 

The chances of you and your spouse having the same love language aren't good. So learning to speak in his/her language is essential for them to understand how much you love them! Chapman is a marriage counselor and his experience in this area is obvious. I love the real-life stories he includes to illustrate the different love languages: 

• Quality Time
• Words of Affirmation
• Gifts
• Acts of Service
• Physical Touch

Even if you and your partner are good at expressing your love in a way that you each respond to, the book really does a good job of providing more ideas and ways to speak each love language. It's an easy read, well written, and practical. Good on all fronts : )
