Unexpected Brilliance

In one word, amazing! I will make this honest & to the point. As I am Australian we kind of like our info served straight up and no beating around the bush. I get tired of reading reviews that sound over the top of many peoples heads & those that make you wonder if they were paid to write it. Let me tell you this, from start to finish this guy knows his stuff. These Love languages Dr Chapman talks about transcend culture & speech language. They would work for anyone, anywhere in the world that has a desire to seek more from their partnership and is willing to listen. Dont let his funky southern accent put you off, it will actually endear you to him as you grow to admire his insights and find your own penny dropping inside. Everything he said made sense, plain english and would apply to everyone's situation whether married, in a relationship or not. Its real info that can be used to reopen and then keep the channels of communication open between partners. Also info that will make giving & receiving love as well as being lovable so much easier. It doesnt focus so much on the differences between men and women like in the Mars Venus Series of John Gray but more on the WAY we love. It explains why those suggestions you get in magazines dont always work so well. SO refreshing and info that I didnt even know I needed! Our marriage was in a rut & I can honestly say that when trying some suggestions from the book my husband immediately responded. He even wanted to listen to the book with me and we disussed things as we listened. It has brought us so much closer and helped us to connect again while learning more about ourselves and each other. We plan to go further with our "reading" as we have a new hobby, listening to books together. I hope Dr Chapman will keep writing! Thanks Dr!

Everyone must read this book

A very powerful insight into why people do things in relationships and how everyone can improve their relationship with their spouse, frinds, family members and any other relationship. I have read this one 3 times already and find it to be very helpful in my life.

Everyone should hear this

STORY - I am rating this a 5 for its information, not for its entertainment value. This book contains good information whether you are married, single, with or without children, and whether you think your relationship is healthy or needs some additional work. If you do not speak the same "language" as the person you are trying to communicate with, they will NOT get your message and their "love tank" will become empty and cause problems in the relationship. The book is short, the author explains everything clearly and gives good examples.

NARRATION - The author reads his own work and does a good job.

OVERALL - Highly recommended.

Hindsight is 20/20

I'm at the brink of tears. Were it not for the fact that I am at work I think I would have broken down hours ago. My wife asked me to read this book years ago but I lost interest by chapter 2. Now I find this audio book and I finished it within hours of purchasing it. Unfortunately I am too late! My wife has divorced me and has another man living with her and my 2 sons in the home that we made. This book has helped me realize how I failed her but, it has also given me hope. I now realize I still love her even if she no longer loves me. I only hope that by trying to love her now, the way I should have when we were married, that she will someday be able to forgive me for the emotional and psychological suffering I put her through. Thank you Dr. Chapman.

Great way to understand others

Even if you are single. I can see how easy or would be to miss what someone else needs because it's not what I need.

It meant so much to me

If you could sum up The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts in three words, what would they be?

Its never really to late for love

What does Gary Chapman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Honesty

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

After being left by my girlfriend who I had planed to marry and be with forever. Through many misunderstandings and yet so much love for each other she shut down on me totally like nothing I had seen before. This book gives me hope that the future is wide open and I can be so much better at being there for the one I love . This time not expressing just in a few love languages but all. I did many but not enough and I choose to love, I will always love her and although I know she did it in a way I really didnt agree with, I know I love her and its a better place to love then to be angry I forgive and I am much more me.

Read this because it will make you a better person

Much better than expected

I got this book thinking it would be ok and much to my surpries it has to be by far the best book yet. Weather your relationship just needs a tune up or some major help this book will help. Although I feel this is much better for a major tune up to get back on the same page with your spouce it is simple to follow and the narator was great for the book. Must have book for a good tune up with spouce

Save a failing marriage and improve a good one.

I bought this because my marriage was "on the rocks". Not only did it help us understand each other and love again, but we have a happy marriage, now.

Very helpful but highly recommend!

This book is amazing! It really helped me realize many things about my husband. Just having some self awareness has really helped my marriage. I also love Dr. Chatman‘s voice.

Work to read or listen

Author was A great Narrator. Stories appear to be Lacking and some sociodemographic background but were very pertinent and illustrative of the concepts. Information easy to take immediately implement.
