 The Five Love Languages (How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mat) by Gary Chapman

 

 

 

Author's Message: Between busy schedules and long days, expressing love can fall by the wayside. We forget to compliment, to give gifts “just because,” to linger in our embrace. The things that say “I love you” seem to either not get said or not get through. This is a book about saying it—and hearing it—clearly. No gimmicks. No psychoanalyzing. Just learning to express love in your spouse’s language.

I urge you to grab a copy of this book! Dr. Gary Chapman’s advice will help you understand, study, and unlock your spouse's love language. Dr. Chapman’s advice to showing and receiving love will help you experience deep and richer levels of intimacy with your spouse.

Here’s a glimpse of what’s inside…. “Real love" – "This kind of love is emotional in nature but not obsessional. It is a love that unites reason and emotion. It involves an act of the will and requires discipline, and it recognizes the need for personal growth.”

One of my favorite quotes is “I am amazed by how many individuals mess up every new day with yesterday.” Hands down this is true, that’s why we always say “tomorrow is a new day” or “today is a new day” For that reason, learn to forgive each other, always remember the Past is HISTORY, and encourage positive attitudes towards each other.
