My 30 Days of Truth challenge I will admit that I changed one question and changed a few curse words... other than that the challenge is intact.

"The Five Love Languages"- How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate... by Gary Chapman
I can not speak highly enough about this book.
I strongly feel that ALL couples BEFORE they get married MUST read this book - TOGETHER!!
This book really has opened my eyes to a new way of understanding humans, love and relationships.
Unbeknownst to me, not everyone speaks the same love language and this book helped me .. first, know that... secondly, understand it... and finally, interpret it.
I would not want to spoil it for you...
I can not tell you enough how much it has changed my life!!
I KNOW it will do the same for you.
My love language, acts of service and receiving gifts. My husband's, quality time and physical touch... he loves back rubs. :)
What's yours?

What's yours?
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues,they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:5-8

My sister-in-law dated a psychiatrist for quite a long time and he introduced her to this book. Like you, she cannot say enough good about it. I always think I'm going to get around to checking it out...and I will...
Thanks for the share!
LOVE the love languages books! I'm currently working through the children's love language book. My love language is acts of service. The hubby's is physical touch. No surprise that we have 3 kids! ;)
This book sounds great! Love is definitely a complicated emotion and takes some effort from both the giver and the receiver in order for it to flourish. Thanks so much for sharing, I will be picking this one up! =)
I agree. I think of this book so often not only when relating to my spouse but to my kids as well. It's amazing how they each have a unique love language.
i read have read both the 5 love . . . for adults and also for teens. i was a little reluctant at first because i am not christian but i loved the book! i found the information so wonderful. it's a great book for anyone to read. love love love the books and the man who wrote them. he has a beautiful, loving and practical spirit we can all take a message from.
I am going to have to take your advice and read the book!
Now, why didn't I read that book before I got divorced...
We speak different languages of love, that oftentimes we get lost in translation.
One book which has made an impact on me is The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. I especially love his bit about children..."Your children are not your children. They come through you, but not from you..."
Carla I have heard about this book and have seen it on different peoples "must read" lists and yet have never read it. I believe a trip to the Library or book store is in order! I want to know what everyone is talking about!! Thanks dear friend! xo
