I’m sure many of you have heard about Gary Chapman’s book on Love Languages. It has sold 20 million copies, been translated into nearly 50 languages, and has been used by couples and parents all over the world. The five love languages are: words of affirmation
I read the first book many moons ago. The first chapter was useful, but like many quasi-Christian books, the rest of it seemed to just repeat itself. But there speaks the ex-civil engineer, and most of us are somewhere on the low-autism spectrum! My wife and other friends thought it OK through excellent, but I guess I'm not wired that way. I didn't read any of the sequels, but am waiting for '5 love languages for your pet' to try and understand our budgie!!!!
Amazon says that it was published in 2001. That sounds right. We'd been married 25 years at that point and I still learned some helpful things about my spouse. It seems to me that she might have learned about me as well. I think that what we learned then is so familiar now that any influence that it continues to have is more spontaneous now than it was initially. Lots of laughs in the process, too.
I found it somewhat helpful; I was concerned about recommending it because of the lack of data. It is good to hear that there are some.
