Spotlight: Five Love Languages

This month’s bookclub features Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages. Have you read it?  Come discuss it.
(If you haven’t read the book, but have visited his site, you’ll still enjoy the bookclub.  Welcome.)

Here’s the brief review I posted on Amazon:

I use “The Five Love Languages” in my Family Healing work with couples and parents. It is a simple, powerful tool for infusing any relationship with tenderness, empathy, and respect.

Gary Chapman describes the 5 Love Languages as:

1. Words of Affirmation - including Encouragement and Kindness.
2. Quality Time - giving your undivided attention via Quality Conversation and Quality Activities
3. Gifts - anything from trinkets to gifts of yourself.
4. Acts of Service - showing love by being helpful.
5. Physical Touch - including sex, casual touch, massage.

Dr. Chapman advises that we learn to speak our partner’s (or kid’s) primary love language, so that their “love tank” is filled.

In the video, you’ll hear the 3 things I like and the 1 thing I don’t like about this book.
