Five Love Languages, The

The concept behind this extremely popular marriage counseling book is that each person speaks one of five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. For couples seeking to maintain or grow their love for each other, they need to learn their spouse's primary love language. Once you know your spouse's primary love language, then you can respond to them in ways meaningful to them, and your relationship will grow. Using practical examples gleaned from over 30 years of marriage counseling, Dr. Gary Chapman illustrates in The Five Love Languages how to make this happen in your life and marriage.

Gary Chapman is a counselor, minister, and author of the Five Love Languages series. He is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute, Wheaton College, Wake Forest University, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and regularly preaches at Calvary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, NC.
