“Chapman’s thoughtful, youthful sounding voice offers these insights not as the Five Commandments of Marriage but as suggestions he hopes will be helpful. He provides humble examples from his counseling practice, which illuminate his ideas and give a human, down-to-earth quality to the lesson. Without making light of the work a marriage requires, he’ll convince most listeners that with just a little planning and effort they can make a good marriage great and a broken partnership truly satisfying again.”
— AudioFile“Falling in love can be an all-consuming joy, but an enduring love can be as scarce as ice in the desert. Well-known counselor, marriage seminar leader, and author Gary Chapman gives couples the guidance they need to maintain a ‘full love tank’ after the initial emotional high.”
— Moody magazine“This isn’t the first book to point out that what communicates love to you might not mean a thing to your mate. But Gary Chapman says it the most clearly, and most convincingly. His well-defined languages explain why so many well-meaning spouses find expressions of love so frustrating.”
