Summary: This book should be required reading for engaged couples!!!
Review: This book is simple, yet powerful. Gary Chapman provides a realistic assessment of marriage and common marriage complaints/problems. His suggested solutions are practical and easily adaptable. I highly recommend this book to people who are contemplating marriage, people who are happily married, and those who are not.

Summary: The Five Love Languages: truly an "a-ha" experience!
Review: Chapman takes a fresh and innovative approach to relationship.
Using the concept that we all have a specific "language" we speak when we care deeply about someone, Chapman helps us to become aware of our own love language(s) as well as teaches us to "speak fluently" in the love language of our significant other.
A "must read" for everyone who finds themselves in relationship!

Summary: The Best
Review: Although I am not married I feel that this book can enhance anyone's life. It was a real eye-opener for me and helped me to properly relate to those I love. I learned that I am not the weird one neither are they, we are all different. God made us different for a reason. What would this world be if we all related to life, love, and other mysteries in the same way? I recommend this book to anyone who is searching for ways to improve their communication with those they love. I have shared this book with many people and I hope to some day be able to share with my children

Summary: Great for Everyone who is involved in Relationships
Review: If you are not a recluse, you need to read this book. This book has enhanced (if not saved) my sister's marriage. I recommend it to every couple that I come in contact with. As a reader you will gain so much insight into your relationships with your friends, neighbors, spouses, children, co-workers --- EVERYONE.
If you 'lend' this book to others, be prepared to buy another, because once they read it they will want to 'lend' it to their friends and so on....

Summary: All the lights came on!
Review: I have been married for four years--just long enough to get over the honeymoon. My husband and I have even recently tried some marriage counseling. I have been searching for solutions to my disallusionment of marriage. This book has changed my life! I now understand my husband's true needs and he finally understands mine. While reading "The Five Love Languages", I thought of five couples that could benefit from this knowledge, and several marriages that might have been saved. Though the author points out that, ultimately, the key to a successful relationship is choosing to love, this book puts it within anyone's power. I would recommend it to everyone--especially those who are engaged to be married. Had I known these principles earlier, I could have saved myself and my spouse a lot of heartache. I feel hopeful about the future and look forward to the rest of my life with my husband

Summary: I liked the book, so I guess I'm not your average guy...
Review: SEX!
Now that I've got the attention of all the other men out there, let me continue my review...
This book is a definate 10 in my opinion. I learned a LOT about myself I didn't realize. The relationship with my girlfriend grew a lot faster than before I read this book.
I chalk it up to knowing how to "speak" her "love languages", and how to interpret hers.
Every guy out there should read this book, even if they're not in a relationship or married. Yes, for the average guy that loves hockey, fixing cars and watching action movies, the book may seem like a waste of time. But give up a hockey game some night to read this book.
I can't guarantee results, but boy, you'll sure learn a lot about why she acts the way she acts, and how you can rekindle the spark in your relationships.

Summary: Required Reading for Successful Marraige Relationships
Review: "The Five Love Languages" is a well written, practical and Biblically based book on getting the most out of a marriage relationship. The book is so effective, it is used in counseling and ministerial training (Depending on your training) to name a couple of other uses, and is easy enough for anyone to put into practice assuming the reader is willing to make some changes. Gary Chapman articulates the little challenges in marriages that every couple in some shape or form have run into during the life of an ever maturing marriage relationship. The focus of his teaching is the understanding of your mates "love language" or the manner in which he or she says "I love you" or feels loved in tangable ways. Gary Chapman then addresses how our ability to recognize and respond to our spouse can dictate the success of our marriages. With application and consistent work, you will understand your mate and yourself in the mix of your relationship better than you ever thought. Some books in this genre may make a potential reader afraid, skeptical or intimidated to even consider. For reasons ranging from too abstract that you would need a Phd. to get any value from it, to just too theoretical coming across with all the warmth and sincerity of a text book, not so here! The beauty of this book is it's simplicity, light reading and success stories that inspire hope. Though it's light reading, you shouldn't under estimate the impact this teaching could have in your situation. A good example of this is the books teaching format and practical examples where these priciples have been applied and have worked. A great book with potentially great results.

Summary: Simple and Helpful
Review: I lucked up on this book. I didn't read it page by page. I thumbed through the book and got the basis of the book which is simple. I do believe that many times people are thinking they are being loving but not actually giving what their partner needs. I personally believe that every couple needs all of the 5 love languages in their relationship, but some may be more important than others. It was a reminder to me to try to make a choice to give the type of love I know my partner desires. I believe that if your mate is happy and their love tank is full, they will be less likely to stray in the relationship. It is a pretty good book. It is not the bible, where every word can be held to truth, but it is good and practical. I just checked out The Five Languages of Children today. I think we should all take time to read books that will strenghthen our minds to make us better mates and better parents.
