Gary Chapman first penned the best-selling The Five Love Languages more than ten years ago. The core message has hit home with over 3 million people as it focuses on humanity's deepest emotional need: the need to 'feel' loved. This need is felt by married and singles alike. Dr. Chapman now tackles the unique circumstances that singles face, and integrates how the same five love languages apply in their relationships. For example, in a business environment, when and how is physical touch appropriate? Take the love language test included.

 Written on June 25, 2007 Summary: Very insightful! (warning: religious, but doesn't evangelize) I had the original book on my wish list for some time, and then I found out about this book. Later, I saw a friend of mine from church who had a copy, and she said it was wonderful. So I immediately ordered my own copy. I was not disappointed. Seeing these insights led me to realize why it was that I preferred certain activities and certain behaviors in a relationship, and it leads me to explore what another could want from me. And since this is directed towards single adults, this seemed more applicable to my situation than the original. Now, a warning to the non-religious. Yes, this book quotes the Bible frequently. But instead of doing so with the intention of disguising a religious tract as a self-help book, the author does a masterful job of quoting scripture while staying marvelously on point, and he maintains the focus implicitly promised in the title-helping you improve your relations with others. If you are a single adult, read this book. Don't let the religious sprinklings turn you off. This book is valuable even if you ignore them. Written on June 11, 2007 Summary: Insight Gary Chapman gives a great deal of insight to the human soul in this book. Even for those who have been conscious of the needs and emotions of the people around them will find new information and great advice. As the title suggests, Chapman really does define the love languages and help the reader break down the language barrier with those in his/ her life. Written on May 19, 2007 Summary: Excellent Listen I work as a Relationship Counselor and as a Psychic and I have recommended this CD to others. I find it has messages that while not philosophical, are 'how to's" that can only enhance a relationship. If you are not very religious, you may need to overlook many references to chapter and verse, but this does not diminish the import of the content nor the sincerity in Gary Chapman's delivery. [...]  Written on May 15, 2007 Summary: Mostly good, but not to be taken as absolute truth I learned a lot from this book, but not really in the exact way the author intended. I think we all know that everyone expresses love in different ways, whatever is most comfortable and natural. I like the idea of breaking it down into 5 languages - it helped me think about the separate ways to show love, but I don't think love is that simple. To me a very important aspect of love is disclosing your personal thoughts, feelings, goals, etc. This is effective communication and should be present in any relationship - I don't think acts of service or gifts can save a relationship if there is no meaningful communication. Chapman would probably say this is quality time, but I think it's a separate language on it's own (more than just spending time doing an activity together). I don't really think we are "born" with one main love language that we need the most. For example, some of those languages are more intimate than others (maybe someone who can only express love in acts of service is uncomfortable with the intimacy of physical touch or talking about feelings -that's not always a good thing). Also, he seems to say that everyone is wired a certain way and stays that way for life -I think people change. The ideas are good, but the reader should just take them as an outline for more complex thought on the subject. For example, some types of love you might appreciate more from certain people than others. Every relationship is different. We need certain types of love more strongly at certain points in our lives than at others too. There were some other insights that helped me but made me want to study them more in-depth in other people's writings since he just provides surface reasoning. I also didn't like the way he implies that his ideas are law, and the absolute truth when they are just one theory. So, you will probably gain something from it- I would still recommend it, but take it with a grain of salt, and think outside the box that he creates. Written on May 13, 2007 Summary: Change your relationships-change your life! The 5 Love Languages are an essential piece of understanding how people tick. I first heard about the Love Languages at a church retreat and bought this book as a gift for my boyfriend after I read the first book. This one has practical advice for singles in a dating or courting relationship but the knowledge you get from the book can be applied to any relationship. You will learn how to relate with other people in a way that gets them to respond and grow closer to you as a friend. I have found it helpful even at work for the people that report to me. I think the original book is the best one but if you or your audience is looking for singles advice and guidance this will be a good read too. |
