Book Review: 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman
The main reason that I chose to read this piece is that I never read a scientifically based book about “Love, Marriage, and Relationships”
Dr. Gary Chapman is an American Author who studied
Anthropology and he is also a pastor at one of the American Churches.
His
other works include:
·

marriage, though I don’t read This list, I know that these books are not as best-selling,
interesting and meaningful as “the 5 love languages”
As the
name suggests the book sums up the simple concept of 5 love languages, Have you
ever known that people prefer to get love from their spouses in different ways?
Some expect their spouses to show them love by spending quality time with them,
others prefer words of affirmation and appreciation, others like gifts, while
some others are interested in to help them in house works (acts of service) and
still there are others who like physical touch.
The
author believes that people’s preference for love can be categorized in the
above five kinds, he also encourages us to learn the love language of our
spouse and speak in it. It contains a guide of how you can learn both your love
language and the one of your spouse.
The
Author explains another concept called “Emotional tank”-everyone has an
emotional tank of love, and when you didn't get love from your parents or from
your spouse, it means that your emotional tank is empty and that is not good
for you psychologically, he also links the relationship between Emptiness of
emotional tank and adult crime that means if children didn't get love from
their parents, chances are that they will commit crimes in their adulthood.
Dr.
Chapman also sheds on the light that “in love experience” of couples before
marriage doesn't reflect on how they interact with each other after the
wedding.
I
criticize the author with the concept he says that you can “love the unlovely”,
which he argues that you can love someone who doesn't love you.
Finally,
this book is one of the best books written for this topic and I strongly
recommend it to you in case you feel comfortable reading books about love,
marriage, and relationships.
Thank
you for reading my review and your comments are well appreciated.
