Married more than 35 years to Karolyn, Dr. Gary Chapman is just the man to turn to for help on improving or healing our most important relationships. His own life experiences, plus over thirty years of pastoring and marriage counseling, led him to publish his first book in the Love Language series, The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate. Millions of readers credit this continual bestseller with saving their marriages, by showing them simple and practical ways to communicate their love to their partner.

Since the success of his first book, Dr. Chapman has expanded his Five Love Languages series to specifically reach out to teens, singles, men, and children (co-authored with Dr. Ross Campbell).

He is the author of numerous other books, including The World’s Easiest Guide to Family Relationships, The Other Side of Love, Five Signs of a Loving Family, Toward a Growing Marriage, and Hope for the Separated. Chapman speaks to thousands of couples nationwide through his weekend marriage conferences. He hosts a nationally syndicated radio program, “A Growing Marriage” that airs on over 100 stations and also serves as senior associate pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Dr. Chapman and his wife have two grown children, and currently live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
