This book will change your life!

How are we so blind that we don’t see what goes missing in our relationships after the initial romance fades to the long term commitment? This book spells out how and why relationships are sparkling and fulfilling in the early stages, but often go off the rails in the long term. But, if you live your partner, and want to go back, actually GO FORWARD, into a place of love, joy, enthusiasm, and happiness, this book pulls back the curtain on the mystery of love gone stale and gives you the insight to restart the happiness again. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is and how good it feels.

Wonderful knowledge!

Wonderful knowledge with ideas that I've never thought before. And it pretty much overlaps with what I've been discovering thought years on my own, with mediocre success. Now, as my ~7 years marriage has went sour, I have a hope again, after I had abandoned my faith in love.
Going to work hard again to investigate mine and my spouses love language and start speaking them. :)

Every married person ought to get...

There are so many marriages that are just getting along but has lost the zing. I am a pastor and highly recommend this book to every married couple. Many people get along great during dating and then the honeymoon period, but then something seems to happen. Dr. Chapman takes us past the romance stage to show how to speak a love language to your mate. What one thing can your partner say or do that definitely shows that they love you. This helps show what your love language is, but is your partner consistently doing this. Our upbringing and influences often develop our love language...not every girl desires flowers or chocolates as the "I Love You" language. Do you know what your mate is desiring of you?
