For the past few weeks I’ve been reading the five love languages by Gary Chapman. To be honest the cover wasn’t very attractive to me. It looked like a real soppy book, but now I can really recommend it! It’s a must read for everyone! Guys and girls…especially if you are in a relationship.
The book talks about the 5 different languages of love that exist and that unless you speak the “language” of your partner it will not communicate “love” to them, Gary uses the example of someone speaking english to an spanish person. If the one speaking is trying to convey a certain message, but the receiver can’t understand it, it will have no effect.
One point that was very interesting to me is the fact that you usually speak the language that comes most naturally to you, but is not necessary what speaks to your partner. Therefore it’s important to learn which of the 5 languages (quality time, word of affirmation, gifts, acts of service & physical touch) speaks to your partner and in such a way communicate more effectively!
I’ve heard great things about the book from others too. It’s on my to-read list, maybe I should bump it up the list a bit!
My wife and I loved the book.
It has made a big different in our (Love) Life.
It’s a great book…sound’s like someone’s getting married sooooon! ;) :D
