The 5 Love Languages Hardcover Special Edition: The Secret to Love That Lasts (Deckled Rough Edge) Hardcover – Illustrated, 20 Feb. 2015

It's such a powerful and eye-opening book. It really helped me and my wife to understand how people give and receive love differently. The way it's explained is simple, relatable, and actually useful — it made me reflect not only on my relationship but also on how I communicate with friends and family. It’s one of those books that stays with you and can truly improve how you connect with others. I highly recommend it to anyone in a relationship or even just wanting to understand themselves better.

The 5 Love Languages is one of those books that really sticks with you. Gary Chapman breaks down how people express and receive love into five clear “languages” — words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch.What I loved most is how this framework helped me understand my partner better and also communicate my own needs in a way that resonates. It’s practical, easy to read, and full of relatable examples.Whether you’re just starting a relationship or have been together for years, this book offers valuable insights that can deepen your connection and help avoid misunderstandings.Highly recommend for anyone looking to build stronger, more loving relationships.

This is an amazing book, it is a must for every couple and I've even started giving it as a wedding gift to newly married couples. People communicate and express their love in different ways. A man may buy his partner flowers to say i love you, she'd rather him clean the kitchen so she can get to sit down for a few minutes instead. A woman tells her partner she loves and appreciates how hard he works, he doesn't say it back, but he arranges a date night for them once a month to spend quality time together. These are different methods of saying the same thing, but if you don't communicate to your partner in the language they understand, it will not be understood. So many things get misinterpreted all the time between individuals, and when that is happening with your partner, it can lead to deep issues and resentment. It's like one person speaking Chinese and the other Russian, you both mean well, but a lot gets lost in translation or there are misunderstandings. This book sheds light on how to interpret and read the signs and signals that both you and your partner give. That way you can fully communicate to your partner in ways they understand and you also understand why certain things resonate with you positively or negatively because of how you give and receive love - it's like learning a whole new language! It's well written, easy to read, understand and implement. Highly, highly recommended!!!

My partner and I found this book very useful. Admittedly, a lot of it is common sense but it is portrayed in a way that makes it easier to understand, especially if the two of you are not in a place where you feel you can listen and understand your partner's point of view.There is a lot of references to God and it sounds quite cheesy as you're going through it. (Context - my partner and I are atheists). If you can look beyond that to the point that the author is trying to make, this will be a good book for you. If you can't, maybe find a book that presents the same points in a different context.I wouldn't solely credit this book for saving our relationship 5 years ago but it went a long way and we still re-read it together once a year. I recommend the Science of Trust by John Gottman in combination with this book.

I found out about the 5 love languages in 2021 where my friends were discussing it in one of our sessions and having read the book, I am humbled to have expanded my knowledge on the in-depth analysis of the 5 love languages and how this can be applied not only in relationships with the opposite sex, but also with family, friends and the wider community. I loved the real examples from couples and how Dr Gary was able to help them see their love levels from a more positive perspective. It's a great book for those who are looking to take the next step into identifying the love language of others and how they can show love to you in a way that's organic and authentic as well as understanding your own love language too. 5* review!

This book is an interesting read. My hubby and I read it in bed together at night time and have really enjoyed it. We are now able to understand each other that bit more and what 'Love Language' each of us are. We discovered that our LL is different and we now both understand that we want different love from each of us and respect that. My husband is the one who needs to feel love in a confirmation kind of way where as I step back and show it on my terms in my love language. We have clashed over the difference in the past but this book really helped (him) understand how it works that we are different in love. Brilliant Book - saw it on Married at First Sight Australia, where one of the ladies was talking about Love Language to her new husband to hope that he would understand who she was and her love language needs and to see how or if they were compatable, that was it i ordered it that night. Buy it!

As it is written in a simple language, I believe it’s accessible to everyone who is interested in this topic. It has some nice illustrative examples to help to relate to the topics. I am really happy I read it and I would highly recommend it to others, to everyone.

Amazing book that can change your understanding completely. Very valuable book. We are all different and we all have different ways to show love and to feel love ❤️ It helps to understand what is important for you and what’s your love language. Ones you know you can explain it to your partner and never feel unloved anymore.
