Not many people are careful with their words, including myself sometimes. I have written things I would love to take back, good work—keep it up.

I just remember reading the singles book and being moved. I hope this book moves them like your singles book moved me. This book is the book I got for my brother and his wife.

She responds so much better to affirming words, especially when they are related to a specific event. We are still reading the 5LL for Singles and Teenagers books so I am sure we will have more to report as we discover each others love language. Thank you! It’s working with my teenager.

I'm reading the Singles and gave the other book to my 13yr old who has been asking for Anger management counseling since she was 9. My first observation is that we are both bilingual - quality time and affirmation are her love languages. I consciously offer affirming words with a variety of voice inflections depending on the event. She has greater success at school on those days then when I simple say "have a good day, i love you." When I tell her she's probably the smartest 8th grader in the school or how she gives great advice to her friends it makes a real difference.

But both my husband and I have been online and taken the quiz so that we could know what our love language is. I think this is an awesome way of being able to communicate with everyone close to us, and even a few people that we could make better relationships with.
