| Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice. How do you discover your spouse’s – and your own – love language? Chapman’s short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage. Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like –hoping the feelings of affection will follow later– a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort. "Love is a choice," says Chapman. "And either partner can start the process today." --Cindy Crosby. This text refers to the Amazon.com Exclusive Journal & Paperback Book Set.

As a Christian Counselor, a great bulk of the people who come for counseling involves marriage issues. In some cases, people who are contemplating marriage are dealing with individual issues but who want to feel mentally competent to get married. One of my favorite Christian books that I recommend is "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. A word of caution, this book is being continuously updated. Make sure you get the latest edition. Excellent investment in a book that may save your marriage if it is already in the rocks.

Love has more than one language. There are other ways to tell someone you love them and you need to know and speak their love language. For instance, some people feel loved when they get presents. Others love long soulful conversations. Others like little favors. This book explores the languages of love-- for ALL, men, women and various groupings inside. This is a timeless classic on communicating love. If you want to really tell someone you love them, get them a copy of "The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told".
