Pay attention to the title. This is not the book "The Five Languages of Love" - there is a little title above it..."the heart of". So what I thought was the book, The five languages of love, turned out to be a snippet of the actual book. The content was good - just not what I thought it was.

This was not quite what I expected. It is an abridgement of the original Five Love Languages. "It sorta leaves ya hangin". Gives an overview of common sense, then it makes a person get a bit mad. Chapman blames a lot of the problems in relationships on women, and as people know, it takes two to be in a relationship, so where is the mans responsibility? Also, I disagree with his point that in order to make someone else happy and "fill their love tank" you must get out and do what they like to do and get out of your comfort zone. If that is how the relationship is going to be...then maybe that is not the relationship for you to be in. You can never make another person happy, they must choose to be happy on their own, otherwise you wear yourself out trying and just resent that person because they don't appreciate you. From my perspective, a relationship should be something that BOTH people are willing to work on. If someone is reading or listening to this book or any other relationship book, then koodoes to them for bettering themselves. I think that there are many other books that are much better and so much more worth the money.

This is a dummied down version of the Five Love Languages. It works, but I wish I would have bought the complete version instead.

Someone lent me The Five Love Languages. I loved it so much, I bought a copy for myself, and The Heart of The Five Love Languages for my sister who is too busy to read the whole book. I think everyone should read it who has or wants to have a relationship of any kind with anyone. I liked it so much, I bought the Five Love Languages for Teenagers and The Five Love Languages for Singles.

Mr. Chapman claims that there are five primary love languages: words of affirmation, physical touch, acts of service, receiving gifts and quality time. Although we all need to be loved in all the ways, there is one love language that is our primary love language. If we are not loved in this primary love language, then our love tank becomes empty and we feel unloved, even if all four other love languages are being spoken to us.

So my conjecture is this may be then, why someone with the love language of words of affirmation would 'fish' for compliments, because they have a deep need to hear affirming words.
Happy reading!

I failed to read the full description on this book. It is very small and short. Not the real full version of the original book.

There is alot of information in this little pocket sized book. If only my boyfriend would have acutally read it with me!!!

I read Chapman's book and was pleased. I am not yet a married woman, but it provided a lot of insight. I have a better understanding of myself and love. I learned new things about myself and I learned new things about the opposite sex. The greatest gain for me in reading this book was the understanding I gained about myself and MY "love languages."

I recommend this book for everyone....especially engaged couples.

IT WAS A BLESSINGS!!

This book gives actual steps to do, and explains the theory why it works.

The author tells why, and ways to really get their mate to understand. I liked it because make your marriage wonderful" book.

The examples are great, and it is a very easy.

Other book about love that helps me with my marriage is I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't

Most books focus more in the philosophy of life that the author supports, this book is down to earth and very practical. We love it!

I am very pleased with the books I ordered. Thank you for the prompt service.

This condensed version of the original Five Love Languages book give a great synopsis of the meaning behind each one. I gave this copy to a friend because I kept referring to an old one that I had. This version makes a great gift. The Five Love Languages breaks down how each of us want to be loved and how each of us gives love to others. Since I first read the book I have enjoyed finding out which love language that my loved ones like to receive. I highly recommend it!

This book is a good synopsis of Gary Chapman's book "The Five Love Languages". I do not think that this book would be appropriate for someone who is not familiar with the ideas in his book. It is a good reminder or "cliff note" for his book, but it does not present his ideas fully. I would recommend his other book be read first, and then if you want a refresher or guide book, "The Heart of The Five Love Languages", would be a good match.

I learned a lot about myself and what I need to feel loved. I learned how to take a more active role in a relationship so others can better feel the love I have for them and to let them know how I best feel loved.
