"The book is a nice quick read; it's very easy to understand with just enough anecdotal narrative. Although it may not express many concepts the average reader would find new, it does help organize ones thoughts efficiently. With a clearer understanding of those things which we just assume we "know", our ability to grow and nuture our relationships (all of them) is critically enhanced. I recommend it to anyone who has relationships... which is everyone."

    " This is a great book because it really has valid points about expressions of determining the love language of your mate. I reveresed the parts in the book. My husband also read the book and we each highlighted in different colors and are now going through the book and discussing the highlighted areas. Gary Chappman rocks! "

    " I think every newly-wed couple should read this on their honeymoon to prepare them for what happens after they stop being twitter-pated. I thought the suggestions were practical and usable. The only fault I have with the book is that he only writes of successes. I would have liked to read about at least one time that discovering the love language and following the suggestions didn't work. "

    " Pretty good. I've heard the 5 love languages theory before, and the book really didn't add all that much to the 5-minute summary your friends tell you. But whether you read the book or not, it's a valuable exercise to figure out a spouse's love languages. "
