Publisher's Summary

The five love languages work for everyone (they're not just for married couples)....

In this world we’re surrounded by more people than ever - yet we often still feel alone. Being single or married has nothing to do with whether you need to feel loved! Everyone has a God-given yearning for complete and unconditional love in the context of all relationships. If you want to give and receive love most effectively, you’ve got to learn to speak the right love language.

Different people with different personalities express love in different ways. In fact, there are five very specific languages of love: Words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service, quality time, and physical touch. Dr. Gary Chapman’s original best seller was first crafted with married couples in mind, but the love languages have proven themselves to be universal. The message of this audiobook is now tailored to meet the unique and real desires of single adults.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Whole New Way Of Seeing Things!

This book was SO informative! I read it at the same time as "Disarming The Narcissist" and man the two together make for an effective tool on communication!
I will definitely be listening to this one again!

Very insightful!

So I read the reviews on this book before I listened to it, and there was one quite negative review that said it was offensive. This made me want to listen to the book to see why they would say that about a book on learning the languages of love.
Well I now understand, if you read this book just know like it states in the add it is a religious/Christian book, so the views and sentiments are set in the perspective of heterosexual relationships. So if you choose to read this book, knowing it is a religious based book, don’t be offended if you don’t agree with the sentiments. You choose to read the book knowing it would have that biases seeing as it is a by a religious author, with biblical viewpoints in it. They don’t hide that fact!
Having said that this was a good tool to help you see that there are 5 different ways people express love, and that knowing that and how to tell the difference has helped a lot.
Hope you find this helpful.

Solid Relationship Advice

I am a physician trained in counselling/therapy and a believing Christian (albeit one questioning of organized religion somewhat). Relationships are far more complex than this book would suggest (or ones discussing the Mars/Venus paradigm, compatible personality types, the seven goals of marriage, or the strict scriptural interpretation of what marriage actually *is* for that matter), but Gary Chapman has done a marvelous job breaking down major patterns for receiving/giving love into Five Major "Languages": Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts Of Service, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. Chapman also wisely discusses the "tingles" of initial attraction and the first two years of euphoric ("blind") love that blesses new relationships. In this book, he explains how his concepts are thus much more important as relationships mature - but the 'Love Language' model is valuable for people entering a new relationship, too (particularly recently divorced people). Chapman's vocabulary is broad, he uses examples from counselling sessions to illustrate concepts, and his advice is clear. Perusing the accompanying PDF makes it clear that the author's view is strongly colored by his spiritual beliefs, but the text is valuable for all people involved in an amorous situation (without excluding non-believers, for example). The book isn't preachy.

Chris Fabry does a professional job reading admittedly dry material. His tone and timbre make it clear that he is interested in the text. Oasis Audio made a good decision hiring Fabry for the project.

A paper copy of this book (where you can scribble in the margins) might be superior, and the original book (aimed at married couples) is doubtless better oriented, but if you are considering it, this 'singles edition' is a 7.5/10 audiobook. It's worth the Credit.
