The five love languages work for everyone (they're not just for married couples)....

In this world we’re surrounded by more people than ever - yet we often still feel alone. Being single or married has nothing to do with whether you need to feel loved! Everyone has a God-given yearning for complete and unconditional love in the context of all relationships. If you want to give and receive love most effectively, you’ve got to learn to speak the right love language.

Different people with different personalities express love in different ways. In fact, there are five very specific languages of love: Words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, quality time, and physical touch. Dr. Gary Chapman’s original best seller was first crafted with married couples in mind, but the love languages have proven themselves to be universal. The message of this audiobook is now tailored to meet the unique and real desires of single adults.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A fascinating read about how people express love to each other

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book, written by a christian minister, has a lot of life wisdom to it that I find myself relating to them: Specifically, the "5 Languages of Love" that it explains. They make a lot of sense to me and manage to explain a few things in my life that had me confused before and i am eager to experiment and see how they take form in my personal day to day life and how I can use the knowledge from this book to improve my life.

However, one specific cavet I do have with this book: it's religious undertones. While this should be expected from an author who is a devout christian, I did still find myself a bit suprised how the author goes on about why "cohabiting" (living with a partner that includes sexual relations that are outside of a marrige) is bad and a lot of references to God, Jesus and holy scripture quotes. I, being the non-religious person that I am, just fundamentally disagree with the claim that sexual relations must only happen under a holy "marrige" arrangment and that anything outside that range is potentially harmful....

But, despite this issue I have with a specific part from the contents of this books, the rest of his advice and knowledge seems very good and intelligent. Worth a read for sure.

This book reads as quite homophobic. The “real-life” scenarios are overly-simplistic and not believable.

What's your love language?

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2018

Oh my gosh! I fell so in love with this book. It drew me in and I read it in under 2 days. I am going to reread it again. I am also looking forward to purchasing the love languages of children also by Gary Chapman. If applied, this book will change your life. You find out so much about yourself and others. The methods in which the love languages are applied to our everyday lives is essential. I have been recommending this book to everyone I know. I first came across this when someone told me about it and I went online and took the quiz to learn my languages. That then pulled me into buying and reading the book. I am not a reader whatsoever but would read any book by Gary Chapman. I am even looking at going to a conference if he is holding close to me in the near future.

Insightful and Delightful

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2019

Five years ago, in the context of a volunteer team, I was introduced to "the five love languages." It's the concept that every expression of love falls into one of five basic categories. Now, for the first time, I read one of Gary Chapman's books on the subject, The 5 Love Languages: Singles Edition. It explores this concept from the viewpoint of various singles (never married, widowed, divorced). According to the Goodreads rating system, "it was amazing"—that's 5/5 stars from me.

As an avid story-lover, I thoroughly enjoyed Gary Chapman's use of true stories to illustrate how an awareness of the five love languages has helped people cultivate, mend, or excel in their various relationships. Romantic, familial, platonic—the nature of the relationship doesn't matter. Of course, he's promoting his idea, so it's not in his interest to share instances of failure. Nonetheless, the book's versatile selection of success testimonies inspires confidence that there is great insight to be found in this philosophy. It's evident that the author really believes what he teaches.

There are some nuances or side points of The 5 Love Languages: Singles Edition that I question, but for the most part, it was an enriching read. The languages of love that this book teaches are "Words of Affirmation," "Acts of Service," "Receiving Gifts," "Quality Time," and "Physical Touch." Though it isn't common knowledge in the general public, it seems intuitive, once explored, that different expressions of love will hold different levels of importance to different individuals. For one person, uplifting and affirming words are the key to the heart, while for another it's quality time. In His Word, God exhorts us to look not only to our own interests but also to the interests of others (Philippians 2:4) and to consider how to stir up one another to love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24). The fact is, while we all need love (from both God and people), our interests look different at a grassroots level. It takes thoughtful consideration to know what will stir up love in another. I really appreciate the attention this book gives to exploring the dynamics of human relationships.

The 5 Love Languages: Singles Edition by Gary Chapman was insightful and delightful, hence the 5/5 stars I give it. I would be interested in reading more of his spinoffs based on the core concept of the five love languages, and I would recommend this book to anyone interested in exploring the dynamics of human relationships as God has made it.

I’m half way through the book and I love it. It’s literally the formula for good relationships. No more confusion, no more not understanding what went wrong, it helps you understand yourself and those around you. I would highly recommend this book to any and everyone. You don’t have to be religious to learn something from this book. It contains practical advice, you just have to have the courage to apply it.

Great book!

I have the book for married couples and sometimes felt like I wanted more information on each individual love language. This version seems to have more detail in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and plan to talk about it at a church event. It really is helpful to learn your love language and the love language of those around you. Putting what you learn into practice will improve your relationships.

Great book

This book is helpful in learning what type of "love language" you or your partner "speaks",
You can Learn to "talk the way your partner " needs so they know that you "love them".
I feel this will help me and my partner in our "love relationship", as we both took the test.
Sent the "test" to a couple people and they really enjoyed "learning their /partners love language" , it's going to be a big help in the relationship.

5 Love Lanugages is great at presenting an idea that is compelling and gives great practical steps on how to apply that advice.

From a physical perspective the book is well made, has great graphics, and is formatting in such a manner that makes it easy to read. The wording itself is also great.

The only limitation of this book is the limitations all books face in that because of its focus it does not always have nuance one may want about the idea but even then it does not fail at this to the extent many books do.

Interesting read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 10, 2019

Having not read any of the other love language books before, I actually found this very interesting. I was able to clearly idenify my own love language and got useful insight into the love languages of my nearest and dearest. I did notice the Christian undertone of the author in parts of the book as other readers had mentioned, but I was not overly bothered by this. It is a useful tool for gaining insight on how to improve your relationships in general by learning to communicate in a way that the other person feels validated and therefore, loved.

The cover doesn't speak about the fact it is a religious book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

The cover doesn't highlight the fact it is a religious book, however author speaks about God, praying, Christianity, etc. in every chapter.
I don't have anything against it, however, this is not the sort of book I was looking for and this misrepresentation was disappointing. The whole book thus is a disappointment for me. 2nd star just because the idea of languages is an interesting one.
