I'm reviewing “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman. He is a marriage counselor and he has this theory that there are five languages of love that can occur between couples. He says they are. . .
He says that couples tend express their love in their own dominate language. But if it is not the language of their mate, then it will fall on “deaf” ears – so to speak. He has many anecdotes where he determines which love languages couples are wired to and he helps them to understand the correct love language and magic happens. He says you can also use this between parent and child.
It’s an interesting theory and he makes a good case for it. I have bought both the tapes and the book from Amazon. Although it looks like only CD's can be purchased now.
I see he has a web site.

I think the most difficult part is to recognize that most people don't have just one primary love language - and if they do, it's probably not the one that they'll tell you when you ask!
