±1±: Best Buy I wish this book had been around and found it's way into my hands when I was 20. Chapters 10 and 11 hit me like a TON OF BRICKS. Heck, for that matter, the entire book did. Young people, please read this book. It will save you a lot of heartache and misery in the area of dating and relationships, no doubt. The contents of this book made clear to me, in stark detail, all of the mistakes I made in the past. So much I could have done differently, so much that might be different now. Knowing these things would have prevented me from aimlessly wandering from so-called relationship to so-called relationship over the years. You will view past relationships through an entirely new prism, and will have the tools to truly love in the present and future. It will no doubt be painful for you if you read this right after a failed relationship, as it was for me. Before reading, I tried to remember to read it looking forward, not back, but that proved to be very difficult. However, it was a process that needed to happen in order for me to grow and learn. You may find a good portion of this book's content to be something that deep down you probably have always known, but either haven't thought about for a long time or lost somewhere along the way. Read this and wander no more. As another reviewer said so well, it truly does prepare you to love. I know I have pleaded with young people, but any single adult would be incredibly served by reading this book. Thank you for writing this, Gary Chapman. I am in debt to you. on Sale!

±1±: Best Buy The author, Gary Chapman, has a wealth of experiences coming from actual marriage counseling. He started by underlining that love begins or should begin at home. Very often in a marriage crisis, a primary key problem or element that was overlooked, a fundamental truth, is that people do speak different love languages. A healthy marriage means the ability to speak the love language of your spouse. He underlined the 5 love languages; words of affirmation, gifts, physical touch, acts of service and quality time. And within each love language comes many dialects or sub-groups.

Within the love language of words of affirmation, comes the dialect encouraging words such as giving verbal compliments. Another dialect is kind words, spoken in a kind tone. In general, all of the dialects have in common the use of words to affirm one's spouse. Additional alternative is to give indirect words of affirmation, which is saying positive things about your spouse when he or she is not present.

If a person's primary love language is quality time, it could mean listening and focused attention with a refusal to be interrupted. A dialect could be a quality conversation with sincere eye contact. Another dialect could also be quality activities, when a couple spends time together doing an activity.

For the primary love language of receiving gifts, for some of us to become an effective gift giver, we may have to change our attitude about money. However, this does not necessarily imply lavish gifts, but could be as simple as gifts of self or presence, which could simply mean being present together with your spouse.

In terms of the love language acts of service, it can be seen as the act of love making requests and not demands. Just like in a parent-child relationship, since the child is young and needs guidance, the parent in this situation, having more experiences and therefore will tend to have more authority, often tends to make demands on the child in order to provide guidance. On the other hand, with request comes choice. Put simply, requests give direction to love but demands stop the flow of love. Therefore a spouse should request for acts of services such as cleaning up the laundry, and not impose this as a demand on the other spouse. In an unhealthy marriage, demand comes from a tyrant spouse and tends to make the other spouse belittled. On the other hand, by making requests, it is more on giving guidance and not ultimatums, affirming his/her worth and abilities. Acts of service could be as simple as making the beds every day, having the meal prepared and ready before your spouse returns home from work, etc.

For the love language of physical touch, love touches may be explicit and demands full attention such as a back rub or sexual foreplay, culminating in an intercourse. It could also be implicit and require only a brief moment such as putting your hand on his/her shoulder.

For all marriages or relationships, to love and to continue loving is a choice. Very often, the initial in-love experience simply happens in the normal context of male-female relationships, un-premeditated. It tends to temporarily meet one's emotional need for love. Our emotions soar with the thought that another person sees us as number one, that your spouse is willing to devote time and energy exclusively to this relationship. For a brief period, however long it lasts, emotional need for love is met. In time, however, we come down from that natural high, back to the real world and this is when problems start mounting. When he/she descends from that emotional high, he/she may start having the natural yearnings of unmet emotional needs. If one is unable to speak the love language of your spouse, eventually all communication channels will break down and the marriage or relationship is unable to sustain any longer.

Simply put, most couples get married when they still have the euphoric feelings of being in love. When these euphoric feelings evaporate some time after marriage and differences begin to emerge, they often find themselves in conflict. With no positive plan for resolving conflicts, they often find themselves speaking harshly to each other. Harsh words create feelings of hurt, disappointment and anger. Over time, this may result in divorce or infidelity.

In reality, love is not our only emotional need. Among our basic needs are the need for security, self-worth, significance, etc. Love, however, interfaces with all of these. If you feel loved by your spouse, you can relax and feel secured.

Gary relates an actual counseling where a spouse wondered she can ever love her husband after all that he has done to her. Her husband was unwilling to seek counseling and therefore was very much a one-sided request for help and advice. Gary recommended a 6-month experiment where she was the only one who put in the efforts by trying to speak her husband's love languages. Over time, her husband had slowly over this same course of time, started to love her again and begin to learn to speak her love language as well. This is indeed an encouragement for someone who is the only one struggling to keep the marriage alive!

This book is recommended for any couple who desires a healthy marriage and seems to provide possible solutions for a world-wide mounting divorce rates.
