If you're reading this book to magically fix broken relationships in your life, you're going to be sorely disappointed. Turns out love is hard work. This book is a great guide to learning how to love others in their language. It's not a magic science, it's just simple ideas that takes practice. This book has completely changed the way my husband and I communicate with each other (for the better). We plan to reread it in the future too.
Very well written. I am not currently in a relationship, but love can be shared by all. I think everyone could benefit by learning their own and how to relate to others with different love languages. Another great book to share. Buy it for a wedding or anniversary gift.
Genuinely surprised by this book. Very straight-forward, no bullshit, some practical examples, and overall lessons that just make sense. I'm currently single and the book made it very clear why the last relationship ended. Makes perfect sense. Highly recommend it.
I “read” the audiobook version which is prefaced with a nice interview so that's an extra plus.
I've read articles by/about the author and found them incredibly interesting, so the book didn't disappoint. An interesting view of love as a verb rather than noun and of the different languages people speak in this aspect.
I really feel like this book helped me learn more about myself and the ways I think about love. That, in turn, helped me to be less frustrated when people tried to show me love in other ways, or when I didn't always feel loved. I hope to reread this sometime too.
This is a great book for learning what makes others ‘tick'. I forget to apply it sometimes. It's fun to speculate on what a person's love language is.
