The 5 Love Languages

I know that many of you have read this wonderful book already, it is one of my all time favorite marriage books so I simply had to list it here!   This is my first recommendation to any couple!  It is so good that I think it should be mandatory reading for all husbands and wives!  Why do I love it so much?  Simply because Gary Chapman has explained a truth about how God has designed each of us differently in an easy to read and easy to apply format

The 5 Love Languages presents 5 different ways that we speak and hear love. Words of affirmation, Acts of service, Gifts, Physical touch, and Quality time. Since there are 5, most couples will find that their primary language is different then the language their spouse is speaking.  This book helps couples to identify their spouses language, and learn how to speak it! 

I highly recommend that husbands should read the "men's edition".  Why?  Because Gary Chapman is nice to us husbands, after each language is explained he has written a whole section titled "if your wife is this then you should do ___".  It can't get any easier then that!  

If you have not read this great book with your spouse in the past 5 years I would encourage you to pick it up again!  Kate and I recently did and we both discovered that our primary languages had changed !  Check it out, maybe your spouses have changed too!
