The Five Love Languages Gift Edition: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate: Amazon.de: Gary D. Chapman: Englische Bücher

Amazon.com

Unhappiness in marriage often has a simple root cause: we speak different love languages, believes Dr. Gary Chapman. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. In a friendly, often humorous style, he unpacks each one. Some husbands or wives may crave focused attention; another needs regular praise. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Some partners might find physical touch makes them feel valued: holding hands, giving back rubs, and sexual contact. Chapman illustrates each love language with real-life examples from his counseling practice.

How do you discover your spouse’s – and your own – love language? Chapman’s short questionnaires are one of several ways to find out. Throughout the book, he also includes application questions that can be answered more extensively in the beautifully detailed companion leather journal (an exclusive Amazon.com set). Each section of the journal corresponds with a chapter from the book, offering opportunities for deeper reflection on your marriage.

Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like –hoping the feelings of affection will follow later– a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort. "Love is a choice," says Chapman. "And either partner can start the process today." --Cindy Crosby.

Der Verlag über das Buch

The Five Love Languages can help you give and receive love.
Are you and your spouse speaking the same language? People express and receive love in different ways. Dr. Gary Chapman identifies these as the five languages of love: quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. If you express love in a way your spouse doesn't understand, he or she won't realize you've expressed your love at all. The problem is that you're speaking two different languages. Perhaps your husband needs to hear encouraging words, but you feel cooking a nice dinner will cheer him up. When he still feels down, you're puzzled. Or, maybe your wife craves time with you---time away from the kids and television. The flowers you gave her just don't communicate that you care. In The Five Love Languages you will find a couple's guide to help you work as a team. Before you know it, you'll learn to speak and understand the unique languages of love and effectively express your love as well as feel truly loved in return.

Dr. Gary Chapman, Ph.D., directs marriage seminars throughout the United States and is host of the nationally syndicated radio broadcast A Growing Marriage. He has counseled married couples for more than twenty-five years. He and his wife, Karolyn, have been married for more than thirty-five years and have two grown children. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verf�gbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Valuable, eye-opening and a must have! 20. August 2006

Von John Weinwood

Format:Taschenbuch

The concept behind the five love languages is geniusly simple but incredibly important and eye-opening. Dr. Chapman focus on married couples in this book but once you go through the text you may also discover for yourself that it applies to almost every situation and relationship. I was thrilled to find out that my primary language is "Physical touch". Now I know why I tend to stay closer to people whom I like but they don't always understand it.

I have wondered why many of my girlfriends couldn't really convince me that they loved and cared about me. They were talking "other languages" such as "I love you", they gave me presents BUT I didn't have the feeling that they meant love. However, a simple hug hits the base. This book will reveal you a lot about yourself and will teach you how to find out and talk other people's "love languages" so you don't end up confused and frustrated. It is one of the most important and valuable books I have read recently and consider it a must have. Additional related bestseller "Scientifcally guaranteed multiple orgasms and ultimate sex" is also incredibly valuable book for everyone who wants the ultimate in their relationship or marriage. I highly recommend both of them.

This is a perfect wedding gift! 27. Juli 2000

Von Ein Kunde

Shortly after my husband and I were married, a friend recommended this book as a solution to some of the trials my husband and I encountered during our first year of marriage. I reluctantly read it, not realizing how much it would change my marriage! We were both surprised by the results! My husband and I have since decided this would become a standard wedding gift in hopes that others we know may have the same opportunity to improve their marriage as we had. This is a fantastic book!

The Divorce Solution! 14. Juli 2000

We use the Love Language book as part of pre-marital counseling we offer to people at our church. I wish every engaged or married person would read and apply Love Languages. I believe divorce would all but disappear if people understood this concept.
