What Is the Five Love Languages Book About?
If you have never read any of the 5 love language books. I have them all here in this list with a summary of each.
I chose to write about love today. I am almost 1 year, and a half post the death of my husband of 16 years.
I thought about how we were having trouble understanding each other. It was Gary Chapman’s book, well the quiz in the book.
That opened our eyes to reality, we did not understand each other as we thought. We had work to do.
Things we needed to learn about ourselves. To understand each other.
This article is going to answer the question what is the five love languages book about?
My hope is that you make an informed decision about love. Knowledge is power.
There are different forms of love, and we all have our own unique way we interpret it.
This book inspires simple ways to strengthen relationships. While experiencing the joy of growing closer to the people you love.
It outlines five general ways that romantic partners express and experience love. Which Chapman calls “love languages“.
The Secret to Love that Lasts!
According to Chapman, the five “love languages” are:
- words of affirmation (compliments)
- quality time
- receiving gifts
- acts of service
- physical touch
He gives examples from his counseling practice. As well as questions to help determine one’s own love languages.
According to Chapman’s theory. Each person has one primary and one secondary love language.
Chapman suggests discovering another person’s love language.
One must observe the way they express love to others and consider what they complain about most often. And what they request from their significant others most often.
He speculates that people tend to give love in the way that they prefer to receive love.
Better communication between couples. Can be accomplished when one can care about the other person in the love language the recipient understands.
An example would be if a husband’s love language is acts of service, he may be confused when he does the laundry. And the wife does not perceive that as an act of love.
Viewing it as performing household duties. Because the love language she comprehends is words of affirmation. Verbal affirmation that he loves her.
The wife may try to use what she values, words of affirmation, to express her love to him. Which he would not value as much as she does.
If she understands his love language and mows the lawn for him. He perceives it in his love language as an act of expressing her love for him.
Likewise, if he tells her he loves her, she values that as an act of love.
