My husband and I ave been working threw this book during his deployment to strengthen our marriage instead of letting the deployment break us down and it is working great. The book was given to us by someone on base. That is one way to help relationships of deployed men and women!

If I only had this book 20 years ago, it may have saved my first marriage. Now I’m trying to save the second one by learning our love languages. Thanks for writing such a powerful book.

Sorry, I am learning English. I’m 28 years and my husband is 33. We are from Brazil. We are married for almost 6 years. We are a happy couple. Of course, sometimes we disagree because we are very different in a lot of things. But we love one each other. My language is Quality Time and his language is Physical Touch. We read together “The 5 Love Languages” 3 years ago, and now I’m reading about the 4 seasons. I think that we are in the spring, and we are going to the summer soon. Thanks a lot!!! When I know how to write better English, I’ll write again about my love story.

I am single young adult who has been courting a wonderful young man for almost 3 years. We plan on getting married within the next two years, but lately our relationship has been very strained. A couple from our church suggested the 5 Love Languages book to us and we are going to start studying it together. I think it will be helpful for us as we start getting ready to make the step towards marriage. Also, we are beginning to learn the best way for us to express love to one another without being too pushy or annoying each other. I have even applied these principles to my friendships and family relationships. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how to love others and how they want to be loved.

The relationship between my young son and i was pretty strained. He lives with his dad and spends the weekends with me so i assumed that i wouldn’t have much input in his life.
Although i did love him, showing him in a manner that made him happy was hard; he still prefered to be home with his dad and i felt unloved as his mum.
It took a while but i came to realise that my sons primary love language was quality time; not the amount we assume counts but special time set apart to listen to him.
i began to enjoy this time even though it isn’t my language; his ramblings were entertaining and now that he is nine they are more intense, a full ten minutes can go by without my having had said a word, he has my full attention without interuption and now our relationship is a lot better… he looks forward to spending time with me now.

My husband and I just celebrated our first year anniversary. We read your book before we got married and it opened our eyes to a deep appreciation of one another and helped us to know how to love the other. Whenever anyone asks me how are things going, I tell them sincerely, it has been “heaven on earth.” And actually, we don’t have to be asked. Last Sabbath, we had a gentleman at church come up to my husband and tell him how special it was for him to “see” two people that really loved each other. We thank God for your book. It has given us a great foundation for marriage, and we look forward to many more years to come.

I remember the day—I was still at university (2009) and I had gone to the school bookstore. As I was looking through the shelves a book caught my eyes nonetheless knew the impact the contents of the book will have in my life and my relationship. The book cover read The Five Love Languages. I stood there and asked myself what the title could mean. I told myself that the only way to find out was to buy it and go and read it—which I did and took it home. The day I stared to read I was really moved by it. It touched my heart and made me cry. It made me realize that no matter how much you take love for granted, it’s a special thing. It seems simple but its not. Love is more than just saying I love you.

Wow, the book really taught me something that I would have never probably figured out. That love presents itself in many languages. I could not bring myself to even taking a break. I had to read it all from the start to the end. Every sentence had a great meaning. This is what I call the book of my lifetime. As I read through the book, I had a highlighter and I highlighted those sentences that I thought should never be forgotten. By the time I finished the book I was an expert on love for I understood that we people are unique and we speak different languages to love and this is really true. I then told my boyfriend that I had this wonderful book, a jewel of love that I wanted him to have a look at. He read the book and he told me that it was great.

The book gave more life to our relationship. Since the two of us had read it. We sat down together and studied the contents of the book. We asked each other what love language we thought we were and since then we started fulfilling each other’s love language. Things became better than ever, we are still together and going strong. I have been with mu pumpkin for 3 years and I really love him. We understand each other and we are happy. We are planning on getting married and starting a family soon now that we have finished our degree and working.

A huge fan. I often recommend your book to friends. I think it would be a great wedding gift but as yet have not been game enough to give it. My husband and I were going through a difficult stage and your book helped me to see how I could change things for the better. I am going to share the ideas in your book with my colleagues at work. Each week we have a prayer/reflective time and I would like to share the five love languages with them especially since we are working with kids.
Thanks again.

THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS!!! My wife and I married in 2003. It was great in the beginning. Then the honeymoon phase faded and we did not have the proper tools to love properly. Over the next 7 years we continued to struggle and FIGHT. We did have some good times, however the majority were not so good. Recently I moved out of the house and we are experimenting with a trial seperation. Prior to leaving, my wifes friend told her about Dr. Chapman and the Love Languages. My wife purchased the bok and the mens edition for me. I read it and was SHOCKED. I was able to look back and see exactly what had happened to us. And I NOW HAD THE PROPER TOOLS. I met with my wife shortly after finishing the book and discussed what I had Learned. I had also purchased and read the childrens edition. She and I finally had our eyes opened. We have been slowly filling eachothers love tanks along with our childrens. I still have not moved back in yet, but know that it is just around the corner.

I am a Chinese girl actually and I read this book by chance. My love language is Physical Touch while my husband’s is Quality Time. I indulge in the feeling of kissing, hugs and any kinds of touch by his hand, while he totally ignore or refuse to do that. He just like to be with me, just ask me to sit beside and even with nothing to talk with him. Once I feel so upset and even disgusting with this kind of love, but now I realized that’s all because we have different love languages. For a good marriage, I know can’t complain but to adapt it. I must learn how to adapt, bear and understand him and love him as what he is. A happy marriage is not come by your choice but by your tolerance. Anyway, thanks the book, thanks the author, thanks for this website and all the friends who shared their stories here.
