Sexist, heteronormative, triggering and Religious

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I stopped reading at the part where the author recommended a woman to sleep with her husband against her will. WTF? Highly triggering for sexual abuse and domestic violence survivors.
Also, the book reads like it’s written for white Christians. And for men who don’t want a partnership, but rather want to coerce their wife into being their sexually subservient housemaid/servant because they just don’t like vacuuming and can‘t afford hiring a cleaner („I thought I get myself a wife for that“).
So if you’re a white Christian man or woman who likes to be a little housewife, yes, this book‘s for you.
Besides that, the book offers solid scientific facts such as man‘s sex drive being dominated biologically by sperm pressure; that women‘s sex drive is purely emotional and not driven by their bodies; and more.

Sexist and ultra conservative. too bad.

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The premise and content and general "love languages" is a great theory and I think he is really on to something....what is too bad is his blatant sexism with only addressing couples that are in traditional (old) gender roles where women stay home and men provide. He also never once mentions LGBTQ relationship. This is not surprised given his strong religous views and opinions peppered throughout the book. Even then, I still thought the premise and advice was good....until I got to the last chapter where he suggested that a woman have sex with her husband even though she didnt want to and felt "used"....just to show her love. Shame on you......there were plenty of other ways she could speak the love language of physical affection without giving up her right to her own body. Is that what he teaches women? the way to make men love you is to have sex with them? would he say this to a teenager? I was so disgusted I was sick to my stomach. To make it even worse, he used a bible verse to try to convince her. awful.

Helpful, but simplistic

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The general theme of this book makes sense - a relationship fails when our emotional needs are not being meet by our partner. It encourages the reader to make the decision to commit to love, an act that involves work and a small amount of sacrifice for the joy and contentment of one's partner. If you love someone, this makes perfect sense and now you have some tools and insight to do so.
However, there were two glaring issues I had with this book:
1. The religious, specifically Christian, bent of this book was off-putting for me. I think the 5 languages of love can be applied by anyone regardless of their creed. The paragraph at the end recommending that the reader seek Christ to better understand love revealed the author's limited understanding of love, Christ, and religion in general I felt.
2. This book glazes over the issue of abuse (physical, verbal, emotional) on more than one occasion. I do not agree that a person should stay and try to fix a relationship in which they (and potentially their children) are being physically hurt. Chapman mentions that those whose primary love language is touch have the vulnerability of being physically abused, but barely mentions the need to seek proper counseling or protection. The example of Ann and Glenn in Chapter 12 was especially alarming. I feel there are some relationships that should end for the safety of those involved, but I'm not sure if Chapman agrees.
So read it lightly, enjoy the simple black and white examples of couples whose problems are quickly solved with the help of Mr. Chapman, and use your own common sense when applying his advice.

I recommend to all friends and family!

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I read this book a few years ago, and it is one that I plan to refer back to and reread over and over again as I go through different stages of my life. I had read this a few years after my divorce and quickly and easily realized how this book might have helped in that situation. I am of course grateful for my personal journey up until this point, but it was great to become introspective and use this book to think back to certain times where resentments had grown between me and my ex and just to see where we didn't have the words to express where we felt under served (we were young!). In my current relationship it has helped me very much. I now understand the way I receive love and the way my future husband receives love. I recommend this book to every single one of my friends that are getting married, are in transition, or are totally single. It helps so much to recognize the way you appreciate being loved so you can easily identify how a significant other works with you to make sure you feel loved, as well as how best to reciprocate how they appreciate being loved. If I could have given this 10 stars, I would have!

I love this book!! This summer has been a summer of self discovery for me, I decided to read a handful of Self help type book. This was recommended by a friend and let me tell you it opened my eyes! Since I'm not married I read this more as a how to proceed in the future. I know he wrote a book for single people but I didn't like the sample so I decided to go with he original. Since I'm single I reflected a lot on my past significant relationships and realized a lot of problems Chapman spoke about in the book or counseled on were things I encountered. amazing read I've been recommending it to all my friends and basically can't stop talking about it!

Awesome and a must read

Reviewed in India on August 1, 2017

Beautifully explained... I think these are the books to be given as syllabus in high school, after all we just long for that love.
This book is not just applicable to couples I think this book makes us understand each and every person s language of expressing love ... I've just made the discovery that my mother s primary language of love is acts of service and that was never spoken by me all these years, no wonder she felt unloved..... thanks to my mentor Sir, Healer Baskar who'd advised all his followers to read this book and few others. I would recommend this book to all adults.
Thankyou very much Dr. Chapman

very useful book for both partners.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Me and my husband had some issues, so we went to an assessment appointment with a marriage counsellor, who recommended this book and it worked, we didn't even need further counselling. But both you and your husband have to commit and take this book seriously, i'm myself always quite sceptical about such books, but this one gives all the advices you need, and no need to waste a lot of money on counselling sessions!

The key to understanding your loved one in a deeper more meaningful way

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 29, 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

There are different types of people, right handed/left handed, extroverts/introverts. This book explains the different love types.
I found this book insightful and helped me step back and consider a different perspective. Core reading for married couples. I’m now intrigued on the other relationships it can apply to.

The most significant book I've read in my life

Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This was the most amazing book that saved my marriage. My husband and I were on the brink of a complete relationship breakdown. We have been married for 21 years and after reading this book, our relationship is better than when we first met. We both love each other so much and know each other's love language after reading this book. I have bought 6 copies and have given 2 of them to our daughters so they can understand what's needed to make a great relationship. I have the rest of the books on hand in case I have to give them to someone in need. I can't say enough good things about this book. This should be a required reading in all high schools. If everyone knew this information, there would be a lot less unnecessary divorces or unhappy marriages. Thank you Gary Chapman for writing this book.
