 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.
The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman July 31, 2008
I highly recommend The Five Love Languages The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate (Men's Edition) To anyone searching for a way to better understand THEMSELVES and thier LOVED ONE.
The book is an easy read (and I don't like to read). It shares life examples that can be applied to anyone's situation. I read the men's edition because that is what was availible to me it was just as helpful and I believe other than comments at the end of each chapter the main text is the same as the regular version.
 This is a really good book! July 28, 2008
I'm about half way done with the book and I'm learning so much from it. This book explains alot of the questions I have about the things my boyfriend does. It's a good book for someone who is looking for answers but, like me, is a little shy to ask.The next step is getting my boyfriend to read it.
Recommended Reading July 26, 2008
In this book Gary Chapman teaches you about the five languages of love. Each one of us is generally dominated by one love language and a lesser mix of the other four. Two people who share the same dominant love language generally get along much better than those dominated by different ones.
I found this book fun to read and very insightful. I'd never really thought about our 'love personalities and types' before, and Gary Chapman's book has made me think about these things and opened my eyes as to how to have a more deep and meaningful relationship. It really does dig into an area of relationships that most of us didn't even really know existed.
Other books I recommend include.

 Reasonable concept, meh execution. July 23, 2008

Talk about something running out of steam. Was this guy being paid by the word? There was some incredibly repetitive stuff, and somehow it got moreso as it went along. I also object to the frequent Bible references. Cite some other things. Sure, even people who do not share the Christian faith might agree that Jesus was a great teacher. However, he's not the only teacher. The only footnotes throughout were to offer chapter and verse.
So, okay, there's decent ideas here. They could have been delivered more concisely. Additionally, why include a chapter about the five love languages and children? There's a whole additional book dedicated to that topic that the author is happy to sell. Not everyone is interested.
Yes, I'll find a way to adapt a few applicable things I've learned in my reading. One wants an investment of time to be worthy. I'd have felt the read was a more rewarding experience had I the meat to read, not filler, and would have been done reading it and onward to something else enriching. Or spending the time putting some of these ideas to use.
The questionaire at the end, useless in Kindle format. Miniscule text in low-contrast faded text. It cannot be read at all.
Overall, a high price to have paid for something that should have merely been a Readers Digest article. The book editor did not earn the paycheck.
