So has anyone here read this book before? If so, what is your love lanuage?

My main one is quality time. My other love language is words of affirmation. It's a great book to read and I encourage those who know what their love language is to post it here and how you have seen it affect you and your relationships. For me, I like to spend time with those I love and care about.

Please share!

I just ordered this book after talking to a local psychotherapist. How do you like it?

I read this book about two years ago and LOVED it. I lent it to a friend and would love to get it back. It's a book I could look at again to refresh myself as to what love languages my husband, and children speak. You can really see yourself and the people around you and what love languages you all speak. Enjoy it :)

I was in Barnes and Noble today purchasing books for Christmas gifts and saw this particular book. I thought it looked familiar from the challenges.

I did not get it as I wanted to make sure it was the right book. When I glanced through it, it appeared to be a great book to have. I am putting it on my Christmas list.

I read this book several years ago. It's very interesting. I was able to see how those I love use a particular love language to express their love to me. So I need to be expressing my love to them in their own love language for them to really feel it.

My love language is words. I think my secondary language is touch.

Interestingly I think my husband shows his love to me through acts of service. When I explained the love languages to him he said his love language was touch. I've made a real point to touch him more to help him to know how much I love him.

My daughter's love language is acts of service and my son's is touch. I asked each of them separately what would make them feel more loved and then gave an example of each love language. They each answered the way I thought they would. But they each said I could buy them a present for no reason any time I wanted!!

My closest girlfriend definitely is a gift giver. I try to pick up little things once in a while to show her I love her... a bookmark, pretty magnet, etc... It doesn't have to cost a lot, for her it's the thought that counts.

It took me quite awhile to get through this book, partly because I kept misplacing it. I would take it on a trip with me, leave it in the suitcase, move it to my travel bag, etc.

Anyhow, I finally finished the book last night.

I found that I can be all five of the love languages. The affirmation and physical are the top two for me. For my husband I find that I give him the acts of kindness.

This is a very good book and shuold be read by everyone.

Wow this sounds like a real good book, I'm going on Ebay right now to look for it. I think it would also be good to share with my fiance.
