helpful read, recommend skimming May 8, 2008
I thought this book was very helpful. While some of the information seems like common sense, there are some valuable lessons to be learned. It really helps you understand other people and the way they both express and need love. It has allowed me to see certain things people do as expressions of love, rather than hum-drum everyday deeds or comments. I have a new perspective on how to express love to my friends and family in a way that they will see it as love. You may only find certain chapters or stories applicable, but either way, this book is worth skimming and it is an enjoyable easy read!

Okay first of all, I read this entire book in about 3 hours. This was part of a study we were doing at a bible study group; and I have to say I'm cynical about this book even from a Christian's perspective.
First, take a look at the cover. See those ridiculously happy nicely dressed perfect looking people? Well if you're not one of them, this book isn't for you. It's full of superficial and contrived mini-stories. To me
they just don't seem to fit in with real life situations that people have with all the hurting and complicated lives we go through. The stories remind me of those how-to educational films from the 40's
The basic message of the book is this: learn what makes people in your life feel loved, follow the golden rule, etc. etc. It's pretty much intuition. I don't think however that it will lead to some miraculous change in how you deal with people nor will it do anything to help you establish new relationships.
 Not just for "Romantic Relationships" March 6, 2008
The title of the book is a little misleading. When the group I am in started studying this book, I thought it was going to be a waste of time for me because I am not in a relationship. Well, was I ever wrong!!! If you have a parent, family member, co-worker, friend, or just even know anyone---then you have a relationship. This book gives wonderful insight into understanding those around you and building better relationships. It also helps you understand yourself better and explains why we react the way we do to seemingly innocent gestures. Highly recommend this book, in fact I ordered it for a friend. It was so helpful, I also ordered the Love Languages for Children and for Teens.

If you wish to take your relationship to a level of real joy- read the book.
Love language is a great reference book October 31, 2007
As a retreat facilitator I am always looking for books to add to our library for both singles and couples. I found the couples kit by Gary Chapman and like it so I decided to purchase this book. This edition deals with how to communicate with anyone and offers tools and advice that anyone can use and understand.
