Reviews were right!

Where does The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is not so much an entertaining book as a useful way to get the dialogue started between you and your spouse/significant other. Although the information is rather bible-based, it is not over done. I started this book on a two-hour drive and my husband reluctantly agreed to listen. We have a great relationship and have been married four years, so he was probably more willing than if we were in a bad place. His critique was that one of the women in one of the examples should have left her husband, because he was treating her so badly. She stuck with the marriage, applied the techniques the counselor (author) recommended and her husband came around. The author has a website were you can download a quiz to figure out your love language and that of your spouse. This was useful.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

This book was read by the author, so it is not a professional performance. It sounded like he was reading, but that didn't really detract from the story.

One of the most insightful books ever read

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I wish I had read it sooner. The examples and stories shared really helped show how each language can be exhibited practically. It seems so simple but I know it will be challenging to undertake the task to consistently, unconditionally love my spouse. But I'm up for the challenge and feel inspired and encouraged after reading this book.

Simple Concepts That We Seem to Forget

I found this book to be extrememly helpful in providing insight of how different people love and how to recognize their love language. Gary gets back to basics quickly. This was a good listen.

Mandatory reading for all humans

This is a simple approach and simple solutions to complex relationship issues and problems. Like others I wish I had this in my library 30 yrs ago but ultimately it’s never to late to change. Thank you Dr. Gary Chapman, you are spot on with this book series.
