- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2015I've been following the 5 Love Languages Couples Edition and I love it so I bought this one for my sister who is single. She is getting a lot of use out of it. This was recommended by my therapist and I now see why. I have a much better understanding of what I expect out of my marriage and what my husband expects. It's amazing to learn that instead of treating people the way you want to be treated should instead be treating people the way THEY want to be treated. That's the key and this book unlocks the door to that and many more secrets that everyone who wants to experience the fullness of love needs.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2023Love my book. Quick delivery as well. I have been wanting to read this specific book for a while and I have finally found it! Yay
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2016I wish I had read this 2 marriages ago. There was so much information in this book that I never took into consideration in my past relationships; both love and friendships. I immediately to put into practice the principles learned and have seen drastic changes in myself and those around me. I've purchased several to give to friends and told them to read chapter 11 twice. Having scripture and other reference materials relating to what I was absorbing was not only helpful, but encouraging. The most important part of the read for me was the "Things To Think About" at end of every chapter, they provided talking points and more meaningful conversation between my friends and I. A must read!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2016I found this book to be very helpful, it even showed me how compatible I am so far with the person i'm interested in and what love language he is. There where two parts, I did dislike while I respect religious people and their views, I found some parts of this book frustrating. I'm not religious and so some parts I disagree with, I used to go to church everyday and be very sex til marriage and so on. My life and prayers led me else where. I do think sex should be looked at and understood in more then one manner. I saved sex till marriage and it was awesome but when I started dating and wanted to go there yes before marriage, and only if I felt a special connection, I didn't know what I liked or what I wanted. So I tried many things and so on. Doing this also helped me look back and get an idea of their love language is. Basically one chapter mostly the sex part I literally skipped two pages because I got tired if listening to got this god that. So I found it hard to relate and understand this part by the end of the book I felt it helped but also that it pushed religion on me waaay to much it got excessive at the end and made me loose interest in the book itself. I'd find it more helpful with less biasedness towards Christians and not all types of people. Give things all people can relate to and agree to. Thatnks for the most part I'll definitely use most aspects in my life from this point forward.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2025The Five Love Languages series of books is an enlightening look at your inner wants and needs as well as that of your loved one(s)
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2014I bought this book for my son's girlfriend. I have read the original and found it to be very enlightening. I never had someone to talk to about love and relationships when I was young, so it was a learning process. I wish I would have had this book then. I don't want anyone else to go through that. I wanted his girlfriend to understand who she is and how she loves and wants to be loved, so this made the perfect birthday gift. She read the book in one day and bought other books by Gary Chapman. She said it helped her understand many things and she even had my son take the quiz. :) I hope this helps strengthen their relationship. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone, whether you had a positive role model or not.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2015I am 46 years old and newly single after being married what seems my whole life! I was married my whole adult life and did not know much about what I really needed in a relationship and heard about this series. When researching the this series I thought they only covered Marriage, however much to my surprise they had a singles edition and love it! I have recommended it to all of my single friends all the time! A must read if you are starting over again in life to know EXACTLY what you need to have a successful relationship and not have to go through date after date to find it!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016Everyone needs to understand that each person thinks and acts differently than another. We have commonalities, but it really helps to understand that individuals express their affection and love for each other in very different ways. Just because an act or word seems like the pinnacle of understanding and clear love to you does not mean it translates that way to another person. This is a great tool full of vital information for anyone who wishes to understand themselves and those they love better. Use it as a guide to improve your loving relationships, by clearing the way to understanding those important people around you.
