Pleasantly Surprised

I'm not going to lie, I went into this thinking it was complete hogwash and boy was I wrong! I went into this journey only because my wife is in therapy and she was suggested this book by her therapist. I got this book without her knowledge and I'm pleasantly surprised with what I've learned. My wife's love language is Acts of service 100% I would hear my wife when she would ask for extra help around the house, but I wasn't actually listening to her. Now that I know her love language I hear her completely, Turns out that I'm very much physical and affirmation love language(s) who knew I grew up in a broken home and nether one of those was every in my home for sure.

Loving the 5 Love Languages!

As I read this book, the reasoning became perfectly clear. As I looked at my relationship through the eyes of a student learning about myself and my partner, it was easy for me to understand and agree with the concept of finding my own love language and the love language of the man with whom I share my life with. Putti this practice in place little bits at a time reaffirmed the truth in this philosophy of love and the human condition. Thank you Dr. Chapman for opening my eyes and my heart. As a mother, teacher, and friend, I look forward to reading the books you’ve written for other segments of the human race. 💖

Where has this truth been all my life?

I have just finished the book and am so eager to put it to the test. I understand now what I need to do to improve my relationship with my husband. We love each other so much but have not been speaking the right love language to each other… yet!!!
