    I took the time , and read this book out loud , it’s about 200 pages , I read it in 2 days. I related to the stuff in the book, if your marriage is struggling with communication, or if you lost your way and want to bring that spark back like the beginning, before the stress’s of actual life etc , I’d suggest 100% to read this book cover to cover, it brought the Love back and even more. Understanding the Love Language of your spouse/ partner is incredibly important. I give this book 100 out of 10 everyday day of the week. This is not just for married people either , it’s for everyone , that wants to have a beautiful trusting relationship with there boyfriend or girlfriend

    What I liked: This book helped me realize my love language and the love language of my boyfriend. We have only been together for 3 months, but I wanted to be proactive in this relationship instead of just assuming that my feelings for him would be enough.

    What I didn't like: Using dialogue to explain the concepts was tedious to read and honestly felt kind of fake. No one can remember conversations word for word, but that is what he wrote. Some of the conversations sounded quite condescending and they were too long.

    I also didn't like his assumption about quality time. Both my boyfriend and I share quality time as our main love language, but we are both very happy even just sitting on the couch together watching a movie or both on our phones. It's being physically together that is important to us. maybe that's because both of us share our second love language as physical touch. So telling a reader that quality time is only quality if it's spent being fully present with each other could result in their attempts at quality time with their partner not being organic. Both of us had a conversation about this after we did the test and we both agreed that even just laying around doing something is quality quality time.

    Otherwise, good points. I'd rather have a pocket version.

    I was introduced to this book by my GP Dr and first read it in 2012 after 22 yrs of marriage spiralling onto the rocks and not even knowing about these simple concepts. It was like... 'were we all born in igloos, to not know about this stuff?' What an eye opener - but sadly too little too late for my own marriage at the time. I even gave it to my ex (after we separated) who said it was 'very enlightening'. I wish WE had read it YEARS before.

    It has literally become one of my favourite books and I constantly recommend it to others. Many friends have shared how communication in their own marriage or families have improved immensely and have been so grateful I told them about it. It makes SO much sense. It puts into words what I had been feeling but couldn't express verbally to even myself let alone anyone else, when I first read it. My kids understand these concepts now which I hope will help them hugely in their relationships. If all couples were equipped with this knowledge at the beginning of their relationship, I believe there really would be less divorce in the world and more communication and unity. Understanding the 5 Love Languages now moving forward has been a blessing. You can apply these concepts to help understand anyone - spouses, partners, kids, teens, work colleagues. I will continue to advocate this book - thankyou for writing it Gary Chapman.

    At this price, I wasn't losing much buying it and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. It is written with simple words and you don't have the feeling being lectured by the author. I have now nice tricks that I can't wait to try and my girlfriend read it too and have the same opinion as mine about this book.

    If a couple really decides to use the suggestions in this book , it could save their relationship/marriage. I would highly recommend this book to everyone. There is even a Quiz that can be taken to determine what your Primary Love Language is. I wish I had this book years ago, and if I had I may Not have gotten divorced. If I had I known these 5 Love Language I think we could have rebuilt our marriage. WE both had emotionally EMPTY LOVE Tanks because we did not know HOW to show each other that we truly loved and cared for one another in the LOVE Language that OUR spouse/partner could Really understand. My Primary Love Language was Quality Time. I wanted him to spend Quality Time with me, doing Anything, it did not matter if it was just going out for supper together, or going to a movie, His primary Love Language, were words of affirmation/compliments and Acts of service when I would do something really special & nice just for him. We never did enough of these things in our spouses Correct Love Language and never recognized this, and Now I am a divorce statistic. Gary Chapman the author has counselled thousands and save so many relationships/marriages. You will be extremely happy that you read this book. I now use this book as a guide to All my other relationships and try to speak their Primary Love language, whether it is with my Sister, my son, my Aunts, etc. etc. When you find out What really & truly makes others feel truly loved and special then you are on the road to very happy successful relationships no matter who it is with.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Materializing the Intangible Force of Love
    Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Introduction:
    In “The 5 Love Languages”, Gary Chapman displays his masterful understanding of the single factor necessary to create and maintain a healthy relationship – Love.

    Through his experience as a counselor, stories from the road and journey as a student, Dr. Chapman has been able to materialize the immaterial force which permeates all marriages and relationships, providing the advice which almost no one can articulate.

    Dr. Chapman has found the languages of love itself, “Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.”

    What You will Gain:
    After reading this book, you will find yourself rapidly improving your relationship with your spouse, children, and family. I the heard enthusiastic, supporting words, “Our relationship has been different over the past week!” after implementing the wisdom from “The 5 Love Languages.”

    You will even find yourself watching drama-filled talk shows like “Dr. Phil,” being able to pinpoint each spouse’s love language and how they are not fulfilling it based on their complaints.

    It is very enjoyable to wield this skill, but also extremely practical. Instead of criticizing your spouse, you can create the environment to facilitate change, and the best part is, both partners do not have to be on the same page! That’s right,” The 5 Love Languages” work without needing both partners to read, so if you didn’t marry a reader, you’re in luck!

    Conclusion:
    This was my first dedicated relationship book, and I’m glad it was. “The 5 Love Languages” was not only a quick read, but easy to digest and entertaining. I purchased it for the incredibly low price of $6.86 in new condition (can’t get much better than that, even at a used bookstore).

    Based on all the things discussed above, I can easily endorse this book and frankly recommend it to everyone! Even if you’re not married, this book covers relationship dynamics you can apply anywhere.

Sobre todo, es útil para empezar o para continuar con el trabajo de pareja, porque sin un esfuerzo perseverante, inteligente y sensible, es difícil que una relación permanezca.

    4,5 ⭐️

    Com toda certeza uma leitura engrandecedora, que faz a gente refletir sobre o amor, tanto nas nossas relações interpessoais quanto nas amorosas, sobre como gostamos de recebê-lo e como fazemos para retribuí-lo. O autor explica tudo de uma forma clara e crível, com exemplos de pessoas reais, fazendo uma sutil menção à religião, o que eu achei interessante.

    Alguns detalhes que eu não curti muito e por isso não dei 5 estrelas foram:

    1) certas formas de o autor se expressar me pareceram como se ele só estivesse considerando casais heterossexuais, o que me incomodou um pouco.

    2) esse é um livro voltado para casais (eu não sabia disso 🤡), então ele usa vocabulário de casais (marido, mulher, esposo (a) etc.) e eu, como no momento me encontro solteira, não me identifiquei totalmente com a leitura em alguns momentos, parecia que eu estava lendo algo que não era pra eu ler. No final do livro o autor conta que tem o livro voltado mais para solteiros e suas relações interpessoais e eu acredito que tal livro teria feito mais sentido pra mim.

    3) às vezes o autor utiliza algumas frases e conceitos de uma forma um pouco repetitiva, oq deixa a leitura um pouco cansativa conforme você vai chegando ao final.

    Mesmo assim, é uma leitura muito válida e que eu recomendo muito! Fiquei interessada em ler outras obras do autor :))
