It's All About the Love, Man

Mandi and I recently took a course offered at our church which we both greatly benefited from, and we highly recommend it. The course was based on a book by Dr. Gary Chapman called The Five Love Languages. Throughout the book, Dr. Chapman identifies and explains the five different love languages in which all of us speak, and helps us to understand our significant other's language. Mandi and I have applied his suggestions to our relationship, and the results have been truly amazing. The book ranges in price from $10-15, and is very easy to understand and read. Also, he has written an edition for kids, called The Five Love Languages of Children. It is based on the same five languages identified in the orginal book, and helps parents to determine which of the five a child speaks. We are about halfway through this one, and believe it to be another homerun by Dr. Chapman. I can't say enough about how eye-opening and interesting these books are, even if you don't have a significant other. If you're familiar with the book(s), I'd be interested in hearing your review of them. If not, check them out if you so choose, and let me know what you think! It's all about the love, but it's all about how you speak the love, man...
