Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice. How do you discover your spouse's - and your own - love language? Chapman's short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage. Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like -hoping the feelings of affection will follow later- a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort. "Love is a choice," says Chapman. "And either partner can start the process today." --Cindy Crosby. This text refers to the Amazon.com Exclusive Journal & Paperback Book Set.

 Understandable August 8, 2008
This is a great book, it's a quick read broken into short stories.
The examples given are make you open your eyes and see things from a different perspective.
For guys trying to read a relationship book, this makes it simple and gives you a clear guide on what you should and should not do; I believe that this style works, it might seem overly simple with a "Love Fuel Tank" but it does work.
The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate (Men's Edition) August 7, 2008
Highly Recommended for all couples young and old. Learn what you both need in your relationship and how to meet each other's needs. This book can help make a good marriage sweeter or turn around a marital relationship from just being hostile "roomies" to an enjoyable marriage union.
 This book is simple and powerful. August 3, 2008
Gary Chapman provides a realistic assessment of marriage and common marriage complaints/problems. His suggested solutions are practical and easily adaptable. I highly recommend this book to people who are contemplating marriage, people who are happily married, and those who are not.

I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't
sewpin August 3, 2008
Love my husband, but we had problems. I wasn't recieving what I need to love him the way he needed to be loved. I just started as he suggested and looked for what he needed, and in return he was open to love me as I needed. I have been married 29 years, I have never felt so secure in my love from my husband. It's a must read for anyone who wishes to have the marriage that the Lord intended.
Nice to know how to show love to my kids August 1, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. It helps to know how my children feel loved. I have a child that feels love by receiving words of affirmation and another that feels love by physical touch. I especially liked the chapter about discipline. I don't think parents discipline enough and when they do, they do it wrong according to this book. There is a way to discipline while still showing love to your kids. It is our responsibility to discipline our children if we want them to grow up and be responsible adults. If we don't discipline them, we are only hurting them in the long run.
