 Fourth Copy I have purchased! August 30, 2008
This book is AWESOME! There isn't a person alive who couldn't learn something very valuable about love and loving their family from this book! I have bought four copies of it now and give it as gifts to new brides, friends, and loved ones! After reading this title, I purchased The five love languages of children and that one is superb as well!
A Life Changing Book August 27, 2008
This is a great book and it changed my life by me and my boyfriend reading it. I recommend this book to everyone. It's truly eye opening.
simply The best book on love: open your heart and listen August 26, 2008
my best friend recommended this book when i was still engaged, in my 20s. I am so glad I read it... my relationship with my boyfriend transformed so much! we both read it and started recommending it to all our friends, even parents and relatives. they all still thank us today!
I am not going to sum up its content, as you may already know about it, but I just want to express my deepest enthusiasm and thankfulness to the author of this book, who - perhaps without knowing it - has helped (+ still does) thousands of families.
It is a must, whether you are still single (you need to know more about love, to be prepared when it comes,right?) or just going out with him/her, or have been married for years. Believe me, I have read quite a few books on the subject and this is The BEST.
I had a chance to read it again last week, 10 years after the first time, and I am still dazzled how insightful it is, how many things I had already forgotten, and how it can still improve the quality of my (happy) marriage!
It is never too late, when your marriage is in deep trouble, give it a try, even if you think you are OK, give it to a friend as a present and you will be amazed how it can change your/their life. All you've got to do is open your heart and be willing to listen. All the rest (and sometimes it is a Miracle indeed) will come on its own.
The Five Love Languages (mens edition) August 22, 2008
was very pleased with the books condition and the sipping time. I thought i ordered the other book (not the mens edition) but it still works out. Thanks!
Excellent August 20, 2008
The book is a quick read. It is written in a straight forward kind of way and makes sense on an intellectual, as well as an emotional level.
I truly liked the fact that he is pointing out the differences between true love and being in love; and does so much better than any other book I have ever read on similar topics.
I found the assessment of the love types very accurate. It is, however, not that easy to follow this advice, as most people lack the honesty, maturity and will power to keep up the work.
I also found that the advice may be easier to follow if one is Christian and a church going person. For those who are not it is probably going to be harder to implement or even understand at times. Example: Consistently fill the "love tank" of a spouse who is cruel, cynical and mean, in hopes that this will permanently alter his behavior eventually.
I will have to say, as a Non-Christian, it is very difficult to apply the "keep-holding-the-other-cheek" philosophy.
Still, I loved the book and I am actually making the necessary changes suggested.
