Book Review of The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate

The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate
Bookfanatic avatar reviewed on


I highly recommend this book to married couples, engaged couples and even singles. I guess that covers everyone. Yes, everyone should read this book. The way in which you express love to your significant other may not be received as love because he or she perceives expressions of love a different way. Perhaps your spouse wants acts of love whereas you enjoy words of love. Perhaps you like gifts as expressions of love and he prefers physical touch as an expression of love.

If the way you both express love to each other is different then you two might as well be speaking two different languages to each other. The author explains this concept in very clear, easy to understand terms. He also gives pointers on how to determine your mate's love language and speak fluently in it. This is not a hokey, pop psychology book. I don't really read a lot of self-help books, but this one caught my eye and I'm so glad I read it.
