Can help any relationship

In The 5 Love Languages Gary Chapman offers experienced advice on how any relationship can improve. However, as with any advice, it will only be accepted if it is taken to heart and put into practice. I have read this before but wanted a refresher and this audio was just what I needed. Maybe you need it too.

Absolutely amazing

Dr. Chapman takes the common concept of 'Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars' and shatters it. He made loving my spouse understandable. If you don't understand this book then I suggest you're in deep trouble! Dr. Chapman, I can't thank you enough!

Great Read, Ok Audible

I LOVE this book and I will implement it in all relationships from here on out. Hopefully my next one will be my last one.

I actual read the book before getting the audible. Reading it yourself is better! If u don't like the should of the audible just read it.

This book resonated with me bc my ex would say how he was trying so hard to "make me happy" but it seemed nothing was clicking with me. It was because
he was attempting to love me in his love language, a language my heart did not understand. My love tank was truly empty. But my eyes opened up after this book.

How to Proceed!

This was very valuable information! A must read! Couples should read this separately. While reading jot notes about previous complaints or needs your partner may have stated. it's a good starting place to enhance or improve your relationship with your soul mate or children.

Very helpful book

I have a different perspective on this book because I am autistic and alexithymia. My love languages are far outside of the book and I personally did not identify with any of it. However, I have a neurotypical (non-autistic) partner and this book helped a great deal with learning how a neurotypical person feels loved and things I can do to help my partner feel loved in his own love language. Overall very useful. I learned a lot. Which is what I was hoping for.
