Dr. Gary Chapman has heard it all during his 30+ years of experience as a marriage counselor. He’s helped couples at every stage of marriage and pivotal points in their relationships – from discovering the joys and trials of marriage to those ready to call it quits.
After many years of counseling, Dr. Chapman noticed a pattern: everyone he has ever counseled had a “love language,” a primary way of expressing and interpreting love. He also discovered that people are usually drawn to those who speak a different love language than their own.
Of the countless ways we can show love to one another, five key categories or five love languages proved universal and comprehensive. Everyone has a love language, and we all identify primarily with one of the five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.
Since The 5 Love Languages debuted in 1992, over five million copies have been sold, making The 5 Love Languages a perennial New York Times bestseller. Numbers, however, don’t measure the book’s influence on couples and their marriages.
This book has helped countless couples identify practical and powerful ways to express love simply by using the appropriate love language. Many husbands and wives who had spent years struggling through marriages they thought were loveless discovered one or both spouses had long been showing love through messages that weren’t getting through. By recognizing their different love languages, they witnessed the rebirth of the love they thought was gone for good.
The 5 Love Languages was translated into over 40 languages and is healing marriages worldwide! The Heart of the Five Love Languages, another book authored by Dr. Chapman, is an abridged version of The 5 Love Languages. Order your copy of The 5 Love Languages today.
